Talk:Simple Life or Death
Add topicFrom FreeTrav: I had been chatting with Fred on IRC and the topic of Icehouse and the game he designed came up; he pointed me to the content page. After a bit of discussion, I said that I'd thought that the varied types of dice and the use of cards were aspects of the game that made it seem more complicated than it need be, and proposed the variant rules. It is to be noted that the switch from cards to dice in the attack/defense rules does change the complexion of the game somewhat; using cards, it was possible for a player not to be able to attack (because of having no attack cards) or defend (because of not having any defense cards). Using dice, this won't happen.
