MASSIF GAMES: Kartoffelkrieg - A Potatoes Game of War


The potato war is a game playing like this with a special part inserted in potatoes. When you visit the official website, the first thing you see is not a brief explanation or rule of the game, "There are two kinds of potatoes in this world, which are skinned and mashed potatoes, which one are you?" And it is written only. This is not just a joke, but the player is divided into "peeling potato camp" and "mashed potato camp", peeling off the potatoes of the enemy and grinding, the owner of the potato which eventually survived will become the winner.


The following image is a rule book. According to this, potatoes have 8 "hit points" and 8 "slots" equipped with parts. Initially customize each potato on hand with parts and then enter the war of washing blood with blood using each other's potatoes. When attacking the enemy's potato it will swing eight dice and attack the slot assigned to the outgoing eyes. It is possible to attack the parts if the parts are equipped and to damage the potato body if the parts are not equipped. The one who ultimately annihilates all the potatoes first will be the winner.


This is various parts used by inserting in potatoes. Arm parts are for attack, leg parts can be used for both movement and attack. Since it has different characteristics for various parts such as shield parts and caterpillar parts in addition to others, you can customize potatoes to your liking by increasing attack power and defense power and increasing mobility The strategy is questioned.


Although it is possible to play the game as soon as it actually prints the parts data, there are also some ambiguous parts in the game rules such as "how many pieces of potato held by the player?" Regarding detailed rules, it seems that it will be updated by Kickstarter before the start of investment, but if you say "I want to enter a potato war right now", I will update the rule book and parts dataGoogle DriveIt is free to download from, so it may be interesting to actually play.

In addition, a commentary movie of potato war by Michaelcthulhu of the inventor has been released and can be seen from the following.
