NOT ENTIRELY SERIOUS, but what about... something similar to the TV show “Name That Tune”?
Player A: If I was playing the Attacker I could win this battle in ... 8 turns.
Player B: If I was playing the Attacker I could win this battle in ... 7 turns.
Player A: If I was playing the Attacker I could win this battle in ... 6 turns.
Player B: Hmmm. OK, try and win that battle.
Player A is now the Attacker and has agreed to (attempt to) win the battle by - ideally - no later than the completion of the sixth turn. There is, however, the possibility that combat may continue beyond this arbitrary time/number of turns.
If the battle has NOT been won by the completion of the agreed turn, then throw, say, 1D4.
If the score is a 1 then “this next turn is the final turn”, otherwise play to the completion of that turn and, if still no victory has been achieved, throw 1D4 again.
This time, if the score is 1 or 2 then “this next turn is the final turn”. Again, play to the completion of that turn and, if still no victory has been achieved, throw 1D4 again.
Repeat as above, this time with a score of 1 or 2 or 3 indicating “this next turn is the final turn”. If, at the completion of that turn, victory has still not been achieved then the very next turn will be the final turn.
Any thoughts? Or are you all thinking Name That Tune, yeah - I remember that.
Take care and keep safe,
Geoff
