Motto: One room, one hit man, one target, one outcome?
A card and dice game where you must try to complete a series of hits without being detected by the police.
In this issue, I would like to introduce you to some of the fringe games out there that work well on Linux. I started looking into Python programs, to try and understand how one goes from knowing all the basic stuff, taking the next step, and making something useful, when I stumbled across this. This little python game is surprisingly fun, easy to figure out, and all the code is available for you to play with. Don't like the graphics? Change the .png files, it's that simple.
Simply download the zip file and extract it. It will extract to its own folder. Open a terminal in this folder and type: python run_game.py (Do not use python3 as it will not work.) Click on 'Rules' and read them. Very straightforward. Click back and “New Game” to start.
You have 7 people you need to kill, and you need to pick a place, a weapon, and an attack card. You have the option of picking a second attack card, and the “target” gets defence cards. Then a roll of the dice decides their - and your - fate. Your Dice are black and the victim's dice are white. Succeed too many times and the Police get on your case, each policeman adds detection points. All the names are gag names, but beware when Liam Nooson gets on your case. He will find you and he will get you! ( Unless you are extremely lucky.) Liam Nooson has 5 detection points, the highest of any detective.
In truth, there is nothing more satisfying than dropping a piano on a boat to kill 'Tungsten Tom' - the toughest character in the game with Miss Maple on your trail, and then getting away with it. With each level you finish (contract you kill, if you pardon my French ) the game ramps up the difficulty, so much so that if you do manage to eliminate all the people on your contract list, you will end with: “well, I never thought anyone would get this far.” Yes, I have mentioned the game is incomplete, but do not let this stop you!
This is not a game review, per se, rather an invitation, as the game will never be completed. Take a few minutes and play a game or two or ten, you will not regret it!
That said, why not complete the game and show off your python prowess?
