Voodoo Carnival

So after looking over a few ideas and pondering how I could integrate my ideas with them I had a great idea - Voodoo Pirate Carnival Games!(games of chance/skill) These would be classic midway games with a voodoo twist.

*knock down bottles of grog
*parrot shoot
*shuffleboard
*darts
*throwing bones(dice)

Gems would be used as currency to play (so obviously it could get some of us in serious gem debt)

The games would pay out as a result of chance and skill. The payouts would consist of voodoo tokens that can be used for temporary hero skill boosts, OR combined into totems that give permanent boosts to buildings (sped up resource production, faster ships, etc)

To save space, the tokens and totems could be placed into an inventory window that's accessible through the Voodoo Hut.



So what do you all think? I really like the idea of an additional resource that can be used to boost different avenues of the game but I don't think it should be automatically generated.

 

You mean just like the Darmoon Fair?

Yes, but themed towards pirates or voodoo or both, and prizes would be the voodoo tokens(chicken feet, shrunken heads, bone necklace)

Thoughts?

 

Interesting, would like to be able to win gems back, or some sort of other prize ( dig the voodoo stuff), but like the ability to make custom changes to your ship, island etc...

 

Sounds amazing.
I do agree it would require chance..because veterans would win every time.
Sort of like blackjack. It has chance, but skill to count cards.

Great idea!

 

Maybe like a 1-5% chance to get back double the gems you bet with?

 

Yea, rockin' , it has to be small...so it cannot be taken advantage of.

 

Exactly. I see something like this as severely setting the game apart from similar games. The totems could also seriously enhance gameplay too, and since anyone can generate gems by sailing the light blue seas, there's a chance that lower levels could seriously overpower.

 

Make the totems work for sea battles (since you cannot see them anyhow for now) could be a lift over the hump while hitting a level 4 ship/monster/fish. The there is no PVP crazy advantage

 

Sounds perfect to me!

 

Lol no voodoo hut here Who needs Witch Doctors when you have strategy

 

Cool

 

The Fair could be located on an island you have to travel to, so time will be consumed (this is the essence of the game).
At the Fair, one may have limited tries to win some prizes.
I like the voodoo temporary boosts
