Just so you know, there is an RPG system called Dread that uses a Jenga tower instead of dice. The theory being that as the game goes on the skill checks get harder and harder, and the monsters harder to kill. It is fun.

Elijah Holzapfel

She's *that good* at speaking in character.

Daryl Sawyer

But there's nothing there to attack. :-|

Daryl Sawyer

Trapped in a cage? Fireball!

Just noticed that Yay has human-style speech balloons instead of AI-style balloons. Huh.

The most important question, which I have not seen asked is: "What happens when you launch a grenade?"

Churchill (formerly TeaBear)

The five-dimensional grid makes the game interesting.

Czarzhan

It's a shame they don't realize that all they have to do is use the Calvinball for an automatic victory...

Dallas Hicks

That missing block! Where did it go! Spooky AI!

I also would launch a grenade :D

Jere

How dare you think that of our sweet special child Melon. Bless her heart lol.

I demand to know the full ruleset

Da Nargh!!

To be fair, everyone seems to get along quite well w/ Melon. Even when she randomly just appears in your apartment, everyone just accepts the fact that she is just a friendly, harmless, AI.

Move block to top. "Do you (random activity) or launch a grenade?"

Bold of to to assume Jeph knows how many blocks are in a Jenga tower

BeatButton

So how much a month for the full game?

Taylor Kendall

D & J! Been many years since I’ve been that wasted ...

Bill Hall

Yeah, I'm still convinced she is the mastermind that created and controls the Spookybot network from the shadows and takes some kind of perverse pleasure in their new "personal" interactions, with the Spookybots being absolutely clueless about it all.

I also like how block "32" is clearly counted in a quasi-ternary system. (First digit is level starting with 1, second digit is 0, 1, or 2 depending on position in the level.) Or possibly the counting is decimal but just starts at 11. Either way, since there are only 30 blocks, it's not just counting starting at 1. But both of the above systems match the missing blocks, so. As does the variant of the first that starts the level at 0 and has the blocks as 1, 2, or 3. Clever Jeph is clever.

Brooks Moses

I cast Magic Missile!

Hugh Eckert

She also is very good at tic tac toc tuc tyc tec toe.

Sleepy John

I WANT THE FULL RULESET!

Joseph Bonnar

GI Jenga

Summer Sudbrink

Sounds like fun!

Bagge

Well yeah, it's just had a grenade thrown at it. :P

Sam Johnson

The block Yay just placed disappeared between panels 2 and 3 πŸ˜›

I’m pretty sure that’s in the Northern Ireland rule set.

Yay seems to get on with Melon extremely well. Probably find the eccentricity of Melon to be amusing.

Thisguy

I was fully prepared for the third panel being Spookybot going into the psychological warfare of regularJenga, and was pleasantly surprised by the Calvinball twist!

TMN

Everyone go home, the game has been named.

TwoRavens

She's not weird. She's Melon!

Joel Bateman

oh cool; they're playing CalvinBlock.

Peter McDevitt

I love how Yay just takes Melon in stride. She's not weird. She's not wrong. She's just different. (OK, to be fair, Melon <i><b>is</b></i> weird, but she's <i>my</i> kind of weird.) Who cares if she's making it up as she goes? It's fun! And when you think about it, weren't all games made up as they went?

awgiedawgie

I still stand by my theory that Melon is a super genius. But that's just a theory...a GAME...

Joel Bateman

You encounter a gazebo

Magic Chopstick Games

Fireball is always the correct spell for the situation.

Ting

I'm finally recognizing Melon is not dumb, she's like Emily- a very specialized savant!

jimbo

I also choose to launch a grenade!

Reminds me of that classic game Dark Tower.

Shawn K. Younkin

Right? That said, I'm so in on this concept.

Jonathan Marinaro

Mornington Crescent would be much more interesting with grenade launchers, too.

Noise

Sounds like a fantasy version of the game Dread

Sam J

I noticed that too. Maybe because they're speaking for their character who is just one person?

JD

Spookybot is a chill entity. Also, is this the first time they've used a first person singular pronoun?
