Description
The full edition of Advanced Checkers 2 is right around the corner! Follow me on itch for updates on the full game. For now, enjoy the 6 page express edition, made for quick games in dark rooms. Have fun! Advanced Checkers 2 is a vaguely strategic roleplaying game for 2 players about flirting, girls, & the inherent sexual tension of an 8x8 grid (it’s absolutely flooring, you’ll see). The whole game can be played with any standard checkers set, pens, paper, & just a bit of tape. You & an opponent will take on the roles of two lesbians who are very attracted to one another as they try to figure out how to express their desires. A single game takes 15-45 minutes to play— things can go as easily or as excruciatingly as you like. You & your opponent gain points by taking each other’s checkers, reflecting the growing overtness of your romantic advances. After having scored exactly 11 points, your character has effectively communicated their interest & can end (or prolong) the encounter as they wish. However, if your score is ever higher than 11, your character has come on too strong or awkwardly. This results in your character getting too flustered, frightened, or feckless to initiate anything, & your opponent getting to determine how the encounter ends (or doesn’t). Features New character creation system New character sheets give you more tools to use while roleplaying, without adding any additional, complex rules. The game is expanded, but remains as sleek as ever. 2 included scenarios to get you started quicker Dawning Violets. Two swordswomen, one a stalwart paladin & the other an increasingly desperate mercenary, meet on a misty hillside for the inevitable confrontation. But now that they’ve finally arrived, they thumb the hilts of their blades nervously. Neither one quite knows where to begin.Crush._Overload. A scavenger from the planet Onderdonk discovers an ancient AI sealed deep in the wreck of a massive spaceship. They couldn’t have anticipated that, upon reaching the chamber where the ship’s AI was sealed, they would be so struck by the machine’s timeless beauty.
