Nice Games Jam: "Dogpile!"

Episode 272 Published 3 years, 10 months ago
Description

It’s Ellen’s 100th episode as a Nice Games Club host! And there’s no better way to celebrate a big day than with a Nice Games Jam. Dale gave us a prompt and you’ll never guess the theme. Can your Nice Hosts come up with a playable prototype in “ruffly” an hour? Enjoy live edits, goofs, special cubes, and piles of dogs taken to the logical extreme!

Prompt
Create a game that could be subtitled "The 100 Dog Days of Calendar Math."
Game type
Card game
Player count
2+
Materials

Two standard 52-card decks

Setup

First, some additional prompt information. 

The objective is to get your dog pack to exactly 100 members (no more, no less) in 100 units of time. You decide how many dogs you start with, how you add or lose members, and what a "time unit" is. Because this is the special for Ellen, bonus points if the game has a dog or multiple dogs in it.

Now, on to the setup:

  1. Shuffle both decks of playing cards together
  2. Deal X
