Old Gemmel

[Tacitus]

    So, a while a go, when I was reading Mistborn, one line in particular stood out to me, that being "Old Gemmel always was a bit screwy." and that's where this came from.

It's just a game that might be fun.

Here's how it works: On each person's turn, they roll a 16-sided Die(via internet, yay!). Each number is paired to a metal:

Spoiler

1-iron

2-steel

3-tin

4-pewter

5-Zinc

6-Brass

7-copper

8-bronze

9-cadmium

10-bendalloy

11-gold

12-electrum

13-chromium

14-nicrosil

15-aluminum

16-duralumin

When one rolls, any number they get except for 11-14 can be used as a misting, for one point. Alternatively, after the first roll, one may roll again. If the number is neither Paired to the previous one, (Iron, steel) nor is the same number, then the turn is worth zero points. If the second roll is paired with the first, the roll is a pair, worth two points. If the numbers are the same, the roll is a compounder, worth four points. If one wishes, one may roll again when they have a Compounder. If this roll is the same number, again, it's atium, worth 16 points.

 

specialty metals (11-14)

when one rolls a(n)...

11- the next person to make points loses said points (bar atium)

12- the next person to make points doubles said points (bar atium)

13- the next points made by the person it's rolled by are void

14-the next points made by the person it's rolled by are doubled

 

In theory, around six people is the max number of players per game.

The game ends after sixteen turns, when points* are totaled, and whoever holds the most wins.

 

*Betting points is allowed

I may be missing a few rules, so I'll add them if I remember them.

Oh, he doesn't. It's just a catchy (In my opinion) name.

WHY DID YOU NOT USE THE CANONICAL NUMBERS FOR EACH METAL

It was on the coppermind, and I just used whatever was there.
