DM6: 12

In this game, players will both submit tiles, then compete in a race to make a multiple of 12 from the tiles placed by both players.


Before the game, each player will get two copies of number tiles from 1 to 10, as well as two extra tiles from 1 to 10 of their choice. Players may request two of the same number when requesting their extra tiles. Extra tiles will be chosen at the beginning of each game, with each player being given 2 minutes to choose their extra tiles.


The game takes place over 11 rounds. Each round, each player will choose two of their tiles with different numbers to play, making a total of four tiles in the pool. After all tiles are revealed, a target number will be revealed. This target number will be randomly chosen from 12, 24, or 36. Then, players will have 3 minutes to make the target number from the four cards, using only parentheses, addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division. During this phase, two actions can happen:


1) Declare solution. A player can declare that they have a solution by posting an equation in the channel. This equation must use all four numbers, and it may only use each number once. If their equation is correct, the round will end and the point will go to that player. If the equation is incorrect, the player who answered will be prevented from answering for 15 seconds.


2) Declare impossible. A player can declare that they think that the current set is impossible. If they do this, the other player will have the remaining time to try to create the target number from the set. If they successfully do so, they will earn 2 points instead of the normal 1 point. However, if they cannot, the player who declared impossible will earn 1 point.


At the end of 11 rounds, the player with the most points will win. This Death Match will be played as a best of 3; different extra tiles may be chosen for each game played.


Addendum: After a player "Declares solution", they will have 10 seconds to post their equation.
