Heart Triplechain

For the puzzle maniacs under you: this game is a must. It is a very simple, yet very deep game. It is a very quick game - just a couple of minutes to complete it.

You play 1-2 games and you understand the rules
You play 10-20 games and you have found a decent strategy
You play 100-200 games and every time you find ways to optimize, adjust and tune your play.

The game´s website is here

The game was invented by zac777 and introduced in this 2+2 thread here.

There are different modes of play:
  • Normal
  • Advanced, in which you can manipulate throws. You will be able to manipulate more if you play more, gain more points and move up in player level.
  • Timed, real time multiplayer mode with chat. 3 minutes per game and everyone faces the same 9 throws, trying to outscore each other. Very challenging. My favorite mode.
  • Daily challenge, in which everyone can participate and try and make the maximum score with a fixed sequence of throws. Find the path to the topscore and beat the rest of the world. I try and find a moment every day to compete in the daily challenge (currently 14 wins )

You will need to create an account to play advanced, timed or the daily challenge.

An utterly sick strat post was made by Dynasty here. Don´t read this until you have played at least 10-20 games.

Re: Triplechain

Cool game. Got up to around 12k before getting mass 2s for the middle spots which killed my bonus.

Re: Triplechain

lol. I'm sure gabe didn't mean anything insulting by that.

Fun game regardless, hit 20k with only 3 chains, two of them being 16 and 24

Re: Triplechain

Is their any taboo over hitting new game til I get a roll I like?

I basically just wait to get 2 6s and no 3s

Re: Triplechain

i got 26k early, then regressed, then began to understand that i'd have to stop just clicking pseudorandomly and think about game dynamics/strategy in order to improve, so quit

Fun game.

Re: Triplechain

34k is not bad at all.
Even if you play perfectly, you will get 34K in less than 1/10 games, I think.
