Jokerball is a violent soccer game. It involves strategy and luck.
The hexagonal board is walled off on the two left sides and the two right sides, and open on the two remaining, opposite sides. The open sides are the goals.
Men start out lined up in front of their own goals, and the ball is in in the center.
The men gradually move out and kill each other off, thereby opening holes in their defenses and making it possible for the ball to exit the board through a goal.
The purple die determines the distance a man must travel, but the player chooses his direction. The green die determines the direction the ball must travel, but the player chooses its distance.
I designed all of my previous games to be interesting mechanisms. A small percentage of them luckily turned out to have quality gameplay. Jokerball was the first game I purpose built to be fun, and I think I succeeded. You tell me.
