Get drunk, start a fight, talk to the mysterious stranger, hit on a server and steal a purse or two. If you're lucky there is a card game going or some dicing in the back alley. What else is there to do in bar?
Looking for something new to present to my players I came up with these simple mini-games for use as a bit of local colour, traditional games or challenges in local bars.
Riddle
Sticks
Players:
2
Objective:
To outwit your opponent in a battle of intellect.
Main
Stat: Intelligence
Riddle
Sticks is a conversation game between two opponents. It was
originally a riddle game, but it can be any sort of conversation of
opposed views, be it an intellectual debate, a legal mediation, an
insult contest or a quote battle. Each player is given three sticks
which are handed over when specific points are scored.
Each
round, both opponents make an Intelligence roll (d20+Int Modifier),
representing their side of the conversation. The player with the
higher results wins that specific point and the loser hands over one
of their sticks.
On
a tie, neither side scores a point and no sticks are handed over.
If
a player rolls a natural 20, the loosing character must hand over 2
sticks.
If
a player rolls a natural 1, they must hand over a stick to their
opponent, even if they otherwise win the round.
Winning
Condition: To get all 6 sticks.
Once
the game has concluded, the looser must make an Intelligence Saving
Throw with a DC of 13. On a successful Saving Throw, the two
opponents leave as friends, or at the least as a respected allies. On
a failed Saving Throw, the two opponents will depart as bitter
rivals.
