The June 2024 mini game jam - "board games" - has ended! (I know this is a bit late, I was on vacation, and no way I'm writing a blog post on my phone.) You can rewatch the stream on YouTube [here](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eancs4EXNP4) and the previous blog post detailing this mini game jam [here]().
16+
17+
As it is a mini game jam, there is no placing - everyone is a winner!

## Submissions

Here is a list of all the submissions to this mini game jam! Ordered by order played on stream.

### dice game by [@richard](https://forum.makecode.com/u/richard)
24+
25+
An implementation of [Yacht (the dice game)](<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yacht_(dice_game)>) plus extras that was the basis for the more well-known game [Yahtzee](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yahtzee), @richard made it for his mom. You can see him play through it at [timestamp 4:03 in the stream](https://youtu.be/eancs4EXNP4?t=243).
26+
27+
### [Tarot - Card Kit Example](https://forum.makecode.com/t/announcement-makecode-arcade-mini-game-jam-20-board-game-jam/29077/20?u=unsignedarduino) by [@sylvancircle](https://forum.makecode.com/u/sylvancircle)
28+
29+
To demo their awesome card kit extension, (which is listed on Awesome Arcade 😁) @sylvancircle created a [Tarot](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tarot) game example that Richard plays through at [timestamp 9:07](https://youtu.be/eancs4EXNP4?t=547). Although I have no idea what the team is talking about when it comes to Tarot cards, it is an awesome demonstration of how to create a non-standard deck with their extension while also having beautiful artwork! You can play through the example [here](https://arcade.makecode.com/S11717-82768-26828-94780).
30+
31+
### [BoardGame.EXE](https://forum.makecode.com/t/announcement-makecode-arcade-mini-game-jam-20-board-game-jam/29077/37?u=unsignedarduino) by [@Glitch_Trap](https://forum.makecode.com/u/Glitch_Trap)
32+
33+
At [11:15](https://youtu.be/eancs4EXNP4?t=675), @Glitch_Trap's submission is played through which has an amazing screen glitch effect, lore, and instructions! This is my favorite quote from the game:

Its camera system (yes, a "board game" game having a camera system is wild) reminds me of FNAF games...not creepy at all. Since I do not have an ounce of courage to play horror games, I will be playing this game in broad daylight only... If you want to play this suspiciously ominous game you can play it [here](https://arcade.makecode.com/S63917-12017-34856-31070).

### [𝓕𝓪𝓷𝓽𝓪𝓼𝔂 𝓦𝓪𝓻 (sounds)](https://forum.makecode.com/t/announcement-makecode-arcade-mini-game-jam-20-board-game-jam/29077/42?u=unsignedarduino) by [@Rune](https://forum.makecode.com/u/Rune)
44+
45+
The forum post linked has a trove of information explaining how to play this two-player game with cute sprites and sounds! (This is a great opportunity to use MakeCode Arcade's online multiplayer feature!) I really like the concept of this game and think it can be expanded on much more, even with AI players if you can devise a strategy.
46+
47+
You can see Richard and Thomas play it out at [20:33](https://youtu.be/eancs4EXNP4?t=1233). And if you have a spare ten minutes and a friend, you can play it [here](https://arcade.makecode.com/24179-37258-32360-87033).

### [Color War](https://forum.makecode.com/t/announcement-makecode-arcade-mini-game-jam-20-board-game-jam/29077/45?u=unsignedarduino) by @[MichaelsMakecode](https://forum.makecode.com/u/MichaelsMakecode)
50+
51+
Richard and Sarah play this intriguing and addictive two-player game at timestamp [31:01](https://youtu.be/eancs4EXNP4?t=1861). Check out the forum post for instructions or dive head first with trial-and-error into the game [here](https://arcade.makecode.com/S74483-39971-42656-39293).

### [War!](https://forum.makecode.com/t/announcement-makecode-arcade-mini-game-jam-20-board-game-jam/29077/46?u=unsignedarduino) by [@AlexK](https://forum.makecode.com/u/alexk)

This famous multiplayer-required card game is amazingly implemented by @AlexK and is played at timestamp [38:33](https://youtu.be/eancs4EXNP4?t=2313). It even supports up to four players! But for some reason, this [game](https://arcade.makecode.com/81607-84550-51875-74974) has jokers as the highest card... 🤔

### [puzzle pandemonium](https://forum.makecode.com/t/announcement-makecode-arcade-mini-game-jam-20-board-game-jam/29077/52?u=unsignedarduino) by [@pecan4](https://forum.makecode.com/u/pecan4)
71+
72+
A port of [Puzzle Panel 2](https://www.mariowiki.com/Puzzle_Panel) and [Puzzle Panic 1](https://www.mariowiki.com/Puzzle_Panic) is brought to MakeCode Arcade! I am _terrible_ at this [game](https://arcade.makecode.com/S77148-44762-35521-78920) haha...Richard seems to have more experience at [43:11](https://youtu.be/eancs4EXNP4?t=2591)...
73+
74+
### [Card Delver v0-32-2 selection bug fixes](https://forum.makecode.com/t/announcement-makecode-arcade-mini-game-jam-20-board-game-jam/29077/56?u=unsignedarduino) by [@Luke](https://forum.makecode.com/u/Luke)
75+
76+
The highly anticipated _Card Delver_ game (essentially [Slay the Spire](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Slay_the_Spire)) by @Luke has been submitted to this mini game jam - the cards and animations are just beautiful! (I could probably stare at the artwork for hours) I highly recommend that you check this [game](https://arcade.makecode.com/S37263-31826-07602-14643) out or watch Richard play this game at [timestamp 46:51](https://youtu.be/eancs4EXNP4?t=2811).
77+
78+
### [The MakeCode Forums 0.5: The Wratch of Vortex](https://forum.makecode.com/t/announcement-makecode-arcade-mini-game-jam-20-board-game-jam/29077/47?u=unsignedarduino) by [@ChimbroDaPro](https://forum.makecode.com/u/ChimbroDaPro)
79+
80+
Another highly anticipated game, the prequel to the original [ MakeCode Forums](https://forum.makecode.com/t/the-makecode-forums-arcade-makecode-superheroes-in-my-community-game-jam-submission/24994?u=unsignedarduino) is a randomized turn game similar to DnD that Richard plays at [56:45](https://youtu.be/eancs4EXNP4?t=3405). The lore and artwork is irresistible, so check out the game [here](https://arcade.makecode.com/92295-72919-49266-41350).

These were all great games that all deserve your time to play, so when you have some spare time, you should go check them out. I personally cannot wait for the next mini game jam and its results...

The theme "board game" for this mini game jam is for you to implement any games you could typically play together with friends/family at a table without devices, like card or dice-based games!
