Two tips for Adam regarding the actual manufacture of the game: To make a cube from a round stick (without loosing a finger), draw a square on the end of your stick, measure one of the sides of the square then cut a round from the stick at that length. Then simply split the stick along the drawn square edges to end up with your cube. To mark wood, use a thin bit of metal heated in a fire, rather than the flames directly to make much more precise and intricate markings on your pieces. All in all a very interesting concept, I can't judge the game since I haven't played it, but the whole process of designing a fun game is an interesting undertaking and a worthy pursuit!

@@SpaceDodo It actually applies to all multisided dice too aside from like pyramidal d4s (and odd sided dice). On any given (even sided) die the opposin sides shud always add up to 1 more than the number of sides it has. This works even for a D2 (a coin) which ofc adds up to 3 on its only two opposin sides, but also for a d20 and a properly made d100. On a d6 the difference isnt as important but if you compare a spindown d20 (like an MTG life counter die) to an actual d20 you will see that one can much more easily be marked in a very slight way to assure it to be much more likely to roll high or low as all the high numbers are clustered together on a spindown die. Its mostly a worry of folks more easily weightin a die to get high or low numbers, but it is also just an interesting fact about how dice are made and about how numbers work and a kinda fun fact about how numbers work, eg like how you can get to 21 by addin up the lowest and highest numbers between 1-20 and how that is true of all numbers.

Probably would have been easier (or at least less time-consuming) to make different shaped wood tokens, instead of trying to burn identifying marks.

Cut to 5000 years from now; Commentator 1: "And we are back, here at the intergalactic tournament of Parker's game! The Globulan player is displaying a masterful grasp of the strategies employed in this game, while the Asarkan is struggling a bit." Commentator 2: "Makes sense Mark, the Asarkans have no mouthes and use colorshifting as communication and have a crippling phobia of geometric shapes. The real surprise is the Rhodinian player, who is obviously from the Rhodinian Empire of Conquerors. Who'd have though that a player who brought a Disintegrator gun and full Power Armor to the table would be so good at diplomacy." Commentator 1: "Truer words have never been spoken Bob. Say, did you know Parker's game originally came from old Terra?" Commentator 2: "Really, I never knew that." Commentator 1: "Yeah, I miss that system. Too bad its gone, but at least we have some fragments left." Commentator 2 "Indeed Mark, Indeed... Whoa! Look at the play the Jo'hel just made! He just might take the win this cycle!"

This video does a nice job of exploring the process of game design from a historical perspective, while also touching on the cultural and social importance of early games. As a writer, worldbuilder, and game designer myself, I have invented a handful of games for my fictional worlds and cultures. Making them actually playable, with both strategy and randomness is a challenge. Even seemingly simple rules can lead to very complex gameplay. Clever players can discover novel strategies, that make games even more interesting. And then there is the revision of rules over time, creating variants of old games, or new games entirely.

Also a bit of a casual game designer here: An additional ruling I'd add to the game is that if you play with the 5-token bet ruling, the person rolling gets 2 dice. It only requires 1 six to win the pot, but at double the odds. To further expand this rule, you can only use 2 kinds of tokens and not all 4 kinds. This is then a risky big swing to capitalize on

It's probably been said but I'm not coming through all the comments; when making six sided dice, it's standard practice to pair opposite sides to total 7.

No randomness in chess? The only time I beat an actual chess master was playing chaos chess with a huge bucket of luck. Basically you are trying to do things that don't hurt you but make no sense. Most the time you don't win but you survive long enough to make the game fun. To me winning is more about who's having the more fun. I used to get upset when losing on multiplayer games but now I just focus on having fun because that's the point.
