Summary: <p>This week is another Nice Games Jam! We got a prompt from Martha's Boyfriend Dylan to "make a puzzle game that includes a written document that updates as you play." You can play the game we came up with in the episode using the rules in the show notes below!</p> Prompt Make a puzzle game that requires a text/readme file or some other sort of text thing that you have to use as a guide to figure out the game. Then as the level progresses, the guide changes, to be harder to understand, or to tell a story, or to taunt. Game type Tabletop game Player count 2 Materials <p>Some set of blocks (we used 10 cubes), different colors</p> <p>Pencil/Pen</p> <p>Paper</p> Setup <p>The Codemaker comes up with sequence of blocks</p> Rules <ul> <li>The Codemaker creates a list of four rules to help the Codebreaker player guess the sequence <ul> <li>Rules cannot specifically place a cube in a place in the sequence</li> <li>Rules can only involve one relationship between two sets of cubes</li> </ul> </li> <li>Read first rule, and the Codebreaker creates a pattern based on rule</li> <li>If the sequence is not correct, read the next rule and have the Codebreaker make a new pattern based on the revealed set of rules</li> <li>Repeat until the player has created the correct pattern</li> <li>If the Codebreaker needs more than the four rules, the code maker then makes a new rule immediately, and the Codebreaker makes a new sequence with these rules.</li> <li>The Codemaker can call for a mulligan up to 3 times total in the game so the player can make a new pattern with the same sets of rules</li> <li>Scored based how many rules are needed before the code breaker solves the sequence</li> <li>Some example rules: <ul> <li>1.
