It's a freaking Points game...1v0ry_k1ng wrote:dude, have you read thud? the book repeatedly states "the dwarves always win". i was saying its stupid because on the board game released, trolls always win. so each player plays each side, and the game ends a draw as both win as trolls and lose as dwarves.SinbadEV wrote: Have you read "Thud!"? Seriously it's supposed to be one-sided. The Trolls always win so you need to play 2 games, one as Trolls one as Dwarfs and count up the points (basically the dwarves always lose it's just a matter of how many trolls they can kill before being eliminated).
Or were you being purposely sarcastic in order to invoke fanatical ire.
his old books suck hard. gaurds gaurds is dire and to a lesser extent men at arms are pretty average. it dosnt matter though because night watch, thud, jingo, fifth elephant, last continent- all brilliant
Game One, 5 Trolls Survive giving player1 20 points, and All the Dwarfs get scratched, scoring player2 0 points, game 2 6 trolls survive and all the dwarfs are squished, scoring player1 0 points and player 2 24 points... player2 wins.
Maybe you have to actually know the full rules of the game in order to understand that every time he has a character say "the dwarves always win" or "the trolls always win" he is presenting the character SAYING this as being unintelligent or uninformed (In the first case people who have heard the rules "32 dwarfs who move like queens against 8 trolls that move like kings?" but not played, and in the second case people who have played but never gotten good enough at the game to capture any trolls.)
I have decided that the reason you don't like Terry Pratchett is because you have poor reading comprehension skills.
Wow, I hope your trying to Troll here because you're doing a really good job of making me angry with you... over a stupid fictional board game in a fictional book set in a fictional universe. I FEEL SO ALIVE!
