I think the problem is my numbers/math. Too many of the enemies require too many dice.

For example, if you're trying to get a triple and have already rolled twice, it only makes sense to add a second enemy for the third roll if they also require a triple or a pair.

Otherwise it's impossible.
You know what? I think I'm going to give up on this.

It's not doing what I want it to do.

I had thought the choice of activating a second enemy (thereby risking more damage) to roll the dice a third time (and possibly eliminate all enemies) would be a tense choice.

It hasn't worked that way.

when a poor person uses food stamps for a steak or homeless person spends $5 on a beer, it’s seen as proof that all poor people are so bad with money that they shouldn’t be given any, ever, for any reason. $77 billion out the window, and zuck’s legacy as a safe government contract bet is secure.

Okay. The Yahtzee version of ASTROLITH works.

But it feels very different from the first version. It feels more... tactical.

I think that's because you're rolling the dice first, then choosing an enemy to engage.

$20 billion could end homelessness in the US

$40 billion could end hunger globally

Both would still only cost 3/4 of what Meta blew on Mark Zuckerberg’s obviously bad ideas because nobody would tell him they were stupid because he’s worth over $200 billion because he doesn’t pay his share of taxes

I tried a few "playstorm" games of the new Yahtzee-based ASTROLITH this morning.

You roll the dice, then activate one of the three face up enemies. (Enemies are basically scoring conditions.)

Then you get an optional reroll.

To get a third reroll, you have to activate a second enemy.

Seems to me that "campaigning" for a peace prize should automatically disqualify you from getting one.

For this Yahtzee-like version of ASTROLITH to work, there have to be meaningful choices about when to roll again.

There has to be enough open information for the player to make an informed choice about when, or if, to push their luck, and the possible consequence and rewards.
Okay. So the thing about Yahtzee — and with all dice, I guess — is that they're random.

There's no skill involved in the roll; it's all luck.

But there IS some skill in understanding how likely the different outcomes are, and deciding how to score your rolls.

I am seriously thinking about switching over to a Yahtzee-like push your luck mechanic for this game.
Urgh. I think I broke my game.

I went back to the version of ASTROLITH where enemy ships have an armor value, and you put dice on them until you meet that number.

It works, but there was very little tension as there was very little reason to manipulate the dice.

Bah.
