Limerick Heist

This is obviously an immensely fun game, and it’s clear that it’s been a great success as this. English being my second language, I’m not the best to fully appreciate all the wordplay, but I had lots of fun nonetheless.

I really liked the game’s structure, and that was unexpected. If I had read an explanation of the structure before, I would have expected it to fail. The idea of (Spoiler - click to show)taking the wrong decision > losing instantly > going back one turn and choosing something else looks quite wrong to me on paper. But it works beautifully in practice.

Perhaps it works because of the humour. (Spoiler - click to show)Losing means getting some hilarious verses, so of course everyone wants to lose and try again.

This is an excellent game and its great position in IFcomp was both expected and deserved!
