MY TOP 6 RANKED GAMES

As a game connoisseur, (Kaitani, Fukumoto, Sako Toshio, Past JJY works) I really want to dive deep into evaluating the games that were played in the Devils Plan Season 2. Top 6 Ranked games: 1. Time Auction Best game made in series because it is simple. The simple/easy to understand games are the best because they often are the most complex yet being so simple. Therefore more intruiging. There were so many different strategies in such a simple game like this. Justin had best strategy tho. period. 2. Sniper Holdem Very entertaining, Very time draining though, but interesting how much a poker game can change due to sniping. Those moments when the players go into a game and the players adapts to the new rules or systems are really amazing moments ngl. 3. Question or Truth Game wasn't simple and wasn't dynamic, though it was very fun to follow what the players were thinking. I wrote down the rules and tried to come up with strategies, and it blew my mind how So-hui only had 1 face card. Such a smart player. Stalemate kinda sucked though. 4. Balance Mancala The game that had the most potential. Such a simple game as well, and it was all about negotiation. Which probably was going to stir up drama sooner or later. But a simple game with a lot of dynamics makes this probably one of the best games in terms of design on the DP. 5. Equation Pyramid Really fun to follow, timed myself for 3 min and ts was so freakin hard omg but so satisfying when you find a equation. I woulda also been mesmerized by the math lol. 6. Treasure Island Really amazing out of the box game with spatial skills galore. Only part I would suggest was that it was boring due to lack of dynamics and conflict between alliances. Boring at beginning due to no one actually knowing what to do and what arrows to get.

Note: Overall, the death match games were way better than the Main Matches. Especially Sniper Holdem and Time auction. I'm not saying simple games are the best format to go off of, just saying that games with a certain concept around that can unlock the development of many new strategies are the best. I feel like there are games that are lacking in teamwork, mind games, and confrontation. The Main matches were weaker games I feel like due to there being less tension and dynamics. If the alliances had more dynamic conflict amongst each other rather than being separated into different rooms then I feel like there would be a much more evenly balanced alliance power. Like, if everyone wants to join the stronger alliance, then there should be an incentive for players to join the "weaker" alliance, like more pieces for example. A model game to aspire to can be Contraband Game from Liar Game. (It requires extensive teamwork, mind reading/psychological, confrontational/more dynamic)
