AR Dice Game Prototype
An augmented reality dice game created during the 2016 Global Game Jam.
Goal:
Try and predict the correct ingredients needed to cast your spell. The first player to cast the spell with the correct ingredients wins.
Supplies
- Print out of the Caldron (where the ingredents get added).
- Four dice with markers of the 6 ingredients on each side. (Marker Images included in Assets/Dice/Dice_#.png )
- iPhone with the Potions101 (ARGame) app on it.
Rules:
- Roll the four dices.
- A player points the phone camera at the dice. The ingredients marker labels glow. The player can re-roll any or all of the four dice once. Then attempt a cast.
- On a cast - If the player has all four ingredients correct - they fly out of the dice and into the caldron and that player wins. Otherwise pass the phone to the next player.
- The next player re-rolls one or more dice (of their choosing) and casts their own spell.
- Repeat until a player has guessed and rolled correctly.
- POWER CAST. A player has the option to power cast at the start of their turn. In a power cast they are allowed to change the dice to any ingredients they like and make a cast. If their cast is right they win, but if it's wrong the player is removed from play. So use with caution.
Strategy Note: pay attention to the previous players' guesses. That's the key to winning. It's sort of like clue where each wrong guess helps eliminate some of the possibilities.
