[Dune]Game 3 - You, Shai? Hulud have guessed?

Farangu

Yes.

No bid.

@tayrun

Farangu

Harkonnen already bid 1, so you have to either raise to 2 or pass.

Phyphor

Oh oops, 2 then

Tayrun

Pass

caliber

@MrBody I think?

jdarksun

Yup, thanks for picking up my slack caliber!

MrBody

Pass

Phyphor

Not going for cards now that you have spice?

jdarksun

I think @caliber is up

Farangu

Yes, caliber is next to top Fremen's bid of 3.

caliber

Oops, sorry.

Too rich for my blood. Pass.

Farangu

Since Atreides passed already, it returns to the Emperor. @Phyphor

Farangu

Back to Fremen. @Jdarksun

jdarksun

Did Atradies get to see this card?

Farangu

Atreides gets to see every card except the bonus card that Harkonnen gets for winning a bid.

jdarksun

And the two of them get to communicate privately now. Hm.

I'd like another card. 5.

jdarksun

@Phyphor

Phyphor

Indeed, but am I bluffing just to raise the price? 6

Phyphor

@jdarksun

jdarksun

Could I get an update on how much spice people have?

Farangu

Won't be at the computer for another few hours, I can either do it then or people can post their own totals.

caliber

Not that my amount of spice is holding anything up, but in the interests of speed, I currently have 4.

Farangu

Spice update:

Harkonnen - 4
Guild - 11
Bene Gesserit - 7
Emperor - 12
Fremen - 18
Atreides - 7

jdarksun

Pass.

Farangu

Emperor pays 6 spice to the bank, and takes the card.

Second card info sent to Atreides. They start the bidding this round.

Also, future map updates will have Spice/Treachery card info on them.

Farangu

I'm thinking we'll stick with this format for bidding. It definitely takes longer, but it lets you have more control over it, and more of a chance to play bidding mind games. Also, it gives Atreides more of a chance to hawk his knowledge of the cards for spice.

MrBody

hawk

caliber

Aww, I'm super poor. Is there a reason BG got charity and I didn't?

Farangu

Bene Gesserit always get CHOAM charity from the second round onwards, while everyone else must have 0 spice to claim the charity.

You're not a mega-religion tax haven, in other words.

MrBody

Mmmmmm...concubine nuns.

caliber

Hah, that explains it then. And that explanation is AWESOME. I love the little perks that diffrentiate each faction of this.

Farangu

For a board game from 1979, it does a fantastic job of marrying theme to mechanics. And of also being fun to play.

Farangu

Oops, forgot to tag Atreides.

Bid 1

Next to the Emperor. @Phyphor
