Dragon Valley

[Kurg'Grat]

So a friend of mine is a game designer and has successfully launched another game called Dragon Valley. I helped test and do a lot of the work on it and its down to the last day before its launched and this is a great chance to pre order the game and get some cool stuff.

It is a ton of fun and if you like strategy board games especially its awesome. Check out some of the info and get in while u can! after this you will only be able to buy the base game through select retailers.

Speaking of board games, anyone still have the rules for the orc chess game in uo? Kriuk or something like that was the name. That was a lot of fun, and i think will be great for this new round of pugs.

I don't have the images that go along with this, but here is the text for Kriurk:

Use a basic UO in game chess board and classic chess piece layout to play Kriurk


Pawns = Gruntees
Rooks = Grunt
Knights = Grunt
Bishops = Grunt
Queen = Warboss
King = Bloodgod


Kriurk win Conditions:
-all Grunts on the opposing side are klomped
-the Bloodgod on the opposing side is klomped


There are 2 ways to Klomp an Orc in Kriurk:
-Surround the orc on all four sides
-Sorround the orc on two opposing sides with 2 orcs that outrank the victim orc
-When the orc or orcs are successfully Krimped, you may remove them from the board

here are some examples:

There are also more advanced ways to Krimp your opponent's Orcs:

Each orc rank can move a certain number of spaces:
Gruntee = 3 spaces
Grunt = 6 spaces
Warboss = 9 spaces

-Orcs cannot move through other Orcs, they must move around each other.
-You can only move one Orc per turn.
-You do not have to move the Orc's entire potential spaces, you can stop short if needed.


The Bloodgod:
The Bloodgod has the ability to teleport to any space around the board, although once he has been moved, he cannot move again until the player controling him has taken another 2 turns! This is important to remember, so that the player only uses the blessings of the bloodgod wisely. Improper use of the Bloodgod during a krimp could result in a quick win for your opponent, so be careful.

(Thank you Gug, for helping me come with the name "Kriurk"; And thank you to whoever created the game "Go" thousands of years ago, it was a big inspiration to this game's ruleset)

TY BURZ! Imma get some chessboards and start teachin pugs

[Xugnath]

Ah crap, all the image links for Kriurk are dead. I'm going to make an effort to fix that.

[Vlek]

I remember hartar made it up and then he used to get everyone around him to play it. It was cool for like a month, and then people stopped playing it. =/. I'd love to see it and some more of you guys come back. Ha

[Burz'Ro]

Eh? Kriurk was definitely crafted by Xugnath... I never got a chance to try it out
