I must...Whoops, you know, I think you're right. I must have misunderstood Quentin's question. Let's put it another way.<br /><br />New dice always have priority over old dice. So, even if you place a die with a face lesser than the face next to it, your die will not be converted because it is new.<br /><br />This is a confusing game to put into proper words, isn't it? :PDaniel Solishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07683491911441126187noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1818073417709561773.post-90599703263115273692010-10-27T05:35:25.189-04:002010-10-27T05:35:25.189-04:00Perhaps I'm missing something, but these quote...Perhaps I'm missing something, but these quotes seem to contradict each other:<br /><br />'If your number is equal to or lower than your opponent’s number, nothing happens.'<br /><br />' Your die is not, even though there is an extant die with an adjacent face of greater value.'<br /><br />Can your die be converted as you place it or not?<br />For example, there is a single die on the board.

Yes, it is possible, but I neglected to write the rules for this situation in this post.<br /><br />The way we've resolved it at home is that the play favors you. In this situation, the extant die of lesser value is converted. Your die is not, even though there is an extant die with an adjacent face of greater value.Daniel Solishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07683491911441126187noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1818073417709561773.post-21322294714649442392010-09-22T09:00:17.651-04:002010-09-22T09:00:17.651-04:00I haven't tried Pips out yet, but I was just r...I haven't tried Pips out yet, but I was just reviewing the rules and I have a question.<br /><br />Is this possible: You place a die adjacent to two other extant dice. For one extant die, the placed die has an adjacent face that is of greater value, but for the second extant die, the placed die has an adjacent face that is of lesser value. <br /><br />Assuming that's possible, which die gets converted? Should there be some sort of iterative process, and if so, what are the priorities?Q Hudspethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18358532507780678258noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1818073417709561773.post-2908530548383410992010-08-18T13:48:33.426-04:002010-08-18T13:48:33.426-04:00I hope it works out, Quentin. :DI hope it works out, Quentin. :DDaniel Solishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07683491911441126187noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1818073417709561773.post-13785997376953915172010-08-17T13:14:08.444-04:002010-08-17T13:14:08.444-04:00Looks Really cool, Daniel.
