Obviously for games which rely on the opponent to not see your cards/stuff that's impossible. But what about games like Yahtzee? Yes. Any game that doesn’t rely on hidden hands works just fine using one Switch for multiplayer. 1
drahkon Posted June 13, 2020 Posted June 13, 2020 Managed to grab a digital copy for 17.47€. A key seller apparently fucked up and refunded me a product I bought months ago twice. Once to my PayPal account and once to my account at that seller The latter I didn't notice until I checked prices for 51 Worldwide Games just now. If anybody wants to get some games going, let me know 1
drahkon Posted July 21, 2020 Posted July 21, 2020 (edited) People who play/own this game: Would you be up for a tournament of some sorts? There are two options to do a tourney: play against each other directly (that would limit the amount of games suitable for this mode) play independently of each other, i.e. everyone plays a game online against randos and we have to set some kind of win/placement conditions (for example: Yacht - win to be eligible for scoring, the higher your score the better your placement) (Edit: For this one, it has to be built on trust...don't just play 800 matches in order to get the perfect result) I'd be up for organizing something (probably from next week onward) but first I'd like to know if it's even worth the time Edited July 21, 2020 by drahkon 2

It's not exactly the fairest way of playing. I don't see why the more direct method isn't the better option. The ideal number of people would be 12, so that no matter what game we play, there's a perfect distribution of groups. (I'd be amazed if 12 people actually got on board with this though) I wonder, perhaps this could be a long-drawn thing that takes place over a number of weeks? For example, everyone plays a different game from this selection each week and get points based on their placing. Person with the most points once all the multiplayer games have been played wins. Kinda similar to the Mario Kart League I run. I'd be interested in taking part. Provided it happens on Friday or Saturday. I also wouldn't mind keeping score or organising matchups. Had plenty of experience with that kind of thing. 2

drahkon Posted July 22, 2020 Posted July 22, 2020 Man, I'm trying to get into Riichi Mahjong but playing online is a tad too quick for my taste. The time you get for your turn is way too low, and adding ten seconds 3 times per round isn't really helping. For now I'll just use a flash game in my browser to play against the AI
drahkon Posted July 22, 2020 Posted July 22, 2020 Slowly wrapping my head around it. Still not sure why the game sometimes says that I need specific tiles but when they show up nothing happens. Maybe it's because I don't actually have a Yaku but the game still thinks I would win with those needed tiles?

I’ve come across circumstances where I could easily win and it won’t let me. I’ve taken screenshots and showed them to others I play with, and they agree it was a win situation, so I take it the game is broken in some circumstances. 1

Happy to hear because it means I actually understand a fair bit of the game, sad to hear because it sucks that the version here plays out like this. 1

If you set-up the tournament I'd be willing to participate in it.

drahkon Posted July 23, 2020 Posted July 23, 2020 Awesome That means we're currently at three people interested: @viceview51@Glen-i and me (maybe @S.C.G, you thanked my post so....is that a yes? ) With four, I'd say that a tourney could be held

drahkon Posted July 23, 2020 Posted July 23, 2020 Great Calling @Glen-i to set something up. You offered it and have the most experience with this so...I'M GONNA BE LAZY With only 4 people (for now), I'd be up for something like: Play only one game per week Play best of 3 (5, 7, 9, whatever) Assign points based on the result rinse, repeat Just as a basis. Obviously, this can be changed depending on whether we're playing 2-player or 4-player games and how much time each and every one of us has
Glen-i Posted July 23, 2020 Posted July 23, 2020 I'm thinking I should make a new thread to keep our tourney shenanigans seperate. But before I do, I need to determine what day @drahkon, @viceview51 and @S.C.G are all available on. As said before, I'm free on Friday or Saturday. Any time is good for me. Assuming no-one else joins, 4-player games will just be us 4 playing at the same time. 2-player games on the other hand, will have the two top placed players face off while the bottom 2 players will play each other. 1

Glen-i Posted July 23, 2020 Posted July 23, 2020 @viceview51 and @S.C.G. I'm gonna need some kind of idea of when you're free to play Worldwide Games regularly so I can get started on making a new thread.
S.C.G Posted July 23, 2020 Posted July 23, 2020 Saturday, Sunday, Monday, Tuesday... from 8pm. That should offer a bit of scope. 1
Glen-i Posted July 23, 2020 Posted July 23, 2020 If that's the case, than it's looking like Saturday at 8pm might be our only realistic option. @drahkon, @viceview51, would that be feasible for you?

Glen-i Posted July 26, 2020 Posted July 26, 2020 OK, I can't wait for @viceview51 anymore. So Saturday at 8pm is the time I'm gonna use. Gonna make the thread now. 1
viceview51 Posted July 27, 2020 Posted July 27, 2020 Saturday 8pm is good for me. I'll be ordering the game towards the this week's end. Should be able to get it a couple of weeks later, probably Mid-august. Sent from my ONE A2003 using Tapatalk
