Riddlish tavern game: In this tavern, there is a dice game called 'The Petals of the Rose'. It is played with six regular dice.
There is only one enigmatic rule: 'Fallen petal, half the due'. The two players agree to gift each other an amount of gold coins equal to the score resulting from the roll of the six dice. Of course, whoever rolls the lower score wins the difference.
The other day, as I was passing by, I saw two people playing. The first rolled: 6, 6, 1, 2, 3, 3. He shouted aloud: ELEVEN! His opponent rolled: 4, 4, 5, 6, 1, 3. The latter shouted: THIRTEEN! And the first one won two gold coins.
Based on the enigmatic rule, the name of the game, and these two examples, would you be able to figure out how the scoring works in this game?
I love it! If you're interested I can offer you a tavern game I learned nearly 20 years ago from a fellow in an Italian forum! It is a tavern game which is first a riddle: yes, without instructions, a player has to understand how it works! (and trust me, it's not that easy to understand)
