Real gamblers play russian roulette with shotguns.
That is the core concept ofBuckshot Roulette, theInscryption-looking game of blinksweat and bulletworry.
They teased this multiplayer modeearlier in the yearbut justposted the update on Steamyesterday.
The game remains one of uncertain trigger pulling.
Phew, this one was a dud.
But look, what’s Nipplemancer69 doing?
Wait, wait, don’t point that at me, Nipplemancer69!
Have you even kept count of the shells correctly!?
Or a gizmo that lets you steal a rig straight out of your opponent’s pile.
There are other devices I’m far less keen on.
It’s possible as a result to play a whole round without ever even laying hands on the gun.
Turn-skipping mechanics in board games annoy me for the same reason.
It’s frustrating to sit there and helplessly watch an entire game happen around you.
And in a chatless internet game setting, it really invites people to quit.
It’s best done with pre-existing pals - there’s no servers.
So the buy-in is not particularly high.
(Yes, I did do this.
Leave me alone.)
