Twisted Temple Game

Thank you so much for sharing! It means a lot to hear how much it means to your son! Can't wait to think of other games to create!

Great choice of colors! That looks fantastic and professional.

im autistic to and i Can,t wait to try it out but thanks for the story but baideway am 11 year old

Thanks! I do have this. I just felt too sheepish to share the link on here. buymeacoffee.com/shdesigns

Sent you a couple bucks. Thanks for your hard work!

thanks man!

Great solution!

Could you please share the instructions? That way, not everyone needs to translate them individually

I'll be happy to do that. Here is the link for my German translation of the instructions: https://2504167sqnh4ingbpj4.nextcloud.hosting.zone/s/JkkiRETdn3Hgyey

awesome! Will be printing the temple overnight tonight and have the rest of the parts ready to go!

Wow, you could even make it one piece with the spinner base!

I thought about that, but you might want it out on the table while setting up and playing. A prospective rule update might have you discarding items when you swap them out as well. It fits great and still allows the temple to spin if you don't want it out. You could merge them in slicer as well if desired.

im having a similar issue

love the lower LED under light! what did you use for that?

and can’t wait to see your short!

First of all thank you so much for your analysis and questions. I appreciate the feedback from the community to make sure this game is great and the rules are clear. My intention with the rules was to make them coincide with what would make sense if this was a real world temple being explored and scaled. So if you run into any unclear scenarios, just do what makes sense if this were really happening (if that makes sense). Anyway here are my best answers to your questions. I'll be starting a FAQ section and update rules as needed.

If another explorer lands on you and you get bumped down a level and land on a ladder space, it's clear that you don't immediately go back up. But is it intended that you go up the ladder at the start of your next turn? Great question - haven't encountered that one. You will have to take another ladder, or wait until they move. Otherwise you end up with an infinite loop of explorers stomping on each other. Say I roll a 5 and that would put me on a snake. Is it intended that I move 4 spaces and then stop, or does "Stay where your are" mean to stay in the space you started at? It was intended that you don't move at all from the original space. Otherwise you end up with weird scenarios where you hit something else instead, which may help or hurt you. The snake basically makes you lose your turn. Is the point of the player colored X that it marks where my adventurer should always start (if they get sent down the chute, for example). If not, then what is the purpose? Yes. just go up that ladder and start there. It's also just a thematic addition. When swapping out an item for one I find on the board, does my old item go on the board in its place or is it discarded? It would seem that the item I'm getting rid of would not go on the board because my adventurer occupies the only peg hole, but the word "swap" implies that it does go on the board. If I choose not to swap, where does the item on the board go (again, because there is only one peg hole) It was originally meant to swap it out. You would put your old item back on the board next to you and take the new item. However, we played a few games last night with your discarding idea and we like that. If you land on an item you can take it and discard the old one from your backpack, or discard the one on the board and keep the one you have. It makes the item gathering more competitive. What is the point of the backpack token? I can only hold one item but do I actually need the token for any reason other than to remind me I can only have one item? Purely thematic and a reminder of your 1 item. If I land on an arrow, and the resulting dial movement causes another player to end up in front of a skull or ladder, do they activate that space? YES. All spaces are resolved immediately whether you rolled to them, rotated to them or landed on them. Makes for some exciting moments. If so, does this happen at the beginning of their next turn or immediately? immeditaly. When bumped down by the skull, if you would land on a snake you go down an extra level. Yes. What about if I am bumped down by another adventurer and would land on a snake? I assume the same thing as with a skull? Yes, bumped down 1 more. Just a comment having not played the game, but whip and compass seem weak compared to the other items. They each essentially give you two possible spaces you can land on. Most of the time, but there have been times I was able to avoid the pit with a reroll or have two different direction option. I thought about changing up the boot a bit to maybe just a plus one, like an extra spring in your step, but I haven't tried it enough. The Idol seems to be the most powerful, but once you get the gem, you may use one of the other powers to get to places as well. But the boot and jewel can each give 3 different options. I can't really ever see not picking the boot power when I have the jewel honestly. on the pit level for sure, but when you get to the top two levels, the Idol power may be better. We'll have to revisit the boot power and perhaps modify it so it isn't as strong. It just seems like clearly the best non-jewel item. Give me 3 choices of spaces to avoid snakes and skulls and the pit, find ladders, knock down other adventurers? That seems way better than 1 random re-roll or an item that lets me avoid snakes/skulls but with none of the other benefits of the boots. I agree. Thanks again for your thoughful feedback. This is a living, breathing game and will only get better when people get a change to playtest and find the best setups and sets of rules.

I altered the whip so you get a re-roll and can choose either in order to make it a little more powerful. I also make the idol scare the snake away (it gets discarded from the board). I also have a standing rule that if you have a jewel, whichever power you choose before you roll is in effect until the next turn before you roll when you decide to change it. This forces people to use the previous power if they roll then claim they wanted to change the power. It also covers when another player lands on the arrow and rotates the pathway causing the player with the jewel to have an adverse effect. They are stuck resolving the jewel with the power they last used.

That’s fantastic! You are the first with a photo…so cool to see something I made “out in the wild.” Let us know how gameplay is and thanks for sharing!!

Perfect. That was fully the intent. To allow people to take the game and make their own adventure with it. I'd love to hear how your game plays.

I love the blue temple too!

Thx. Thats "Blue Steel" PLA NX2 Matte from Extrudr

whoaaaa that multicolored filament looks amazing as the temple!
