Unpub Preview: Dorobo
BludleAs we move towards upcoming Unpub events we’re going to preview some of the games which will be exhibited.
Ninjas are the frequent target of themes in some very popular games. Let's add a new one to that collection, Dorobo designed by Rocco Privetera of Mighty Fist Games.
Dorobo is a press your luck dice game where you are Ninjas stealing from houses. Maybe not the most family friendly theme, but certainly fun. You'll have a chance to "Ninja Up" this weekend at our Unpub Mini at Atomic Empire in Durham, NC.
Rocco gave us some insight on the process behind this game. Let's hear what he had to say...
What was your inspiration for Dorobo? Trying to make a more sophisticated version of push your luck dice games like Zombie Dice
What is your favorite part of Dorobo? I enjoy the drama of the Fortune die results, which depend on die placement!
To your knowledge, What do other people find most interesting about Dorobo? While it is simple to learn, it has a decent amount of strategy and interaction for a push-your-luck dice game.
What has been the most challenging part of designing Dorobo? Balancing the odds and game time, adding enough player interaction to keep the game riveting.
What advice would you give to players attempting Dorobo for the first time? Make sure you understand the scoring and Interference rules.
What has surprised you most in play-tests of Dorobo? It has a broad appeal, for both casual and hard core gamers.
People who like___________ will like Dorobo. Why? PYL games like Zombie dice and Martian Dice who want something more challenging but still simple
What do you hope to accomplish at the Unpub Mini at Atomic Empire in Durham, NC on Saturday March 2 ? More playtesting, more feedback, more accurate play times, rules corrections, getting the word out about it and fun!
Tell us anything else you want to say about Dorobo that I haven't asked or you haven't said already. It's got a cool Japanese theme and you can sabotage other players!
Maybe you'll get a chance to press some luck and steal some stuff stealthily in Dorobo at the Unpub Mini at Atomic Empire in Durham, NC on Saturday March 2!
