What it is about
Twice Measured is a game of arcane construction that can be played alone or with friends and doesn't require a GM! Players form a work party of carpenters apprenticed to a wizard in the tower-building business. This game combines dice stacking and a tape measure accuracy challenge to simulate the joys, frustration, and quick skill-building experienced by new builders. Players make progress through failure and successes, and no prior construction experience is needed! Learn to read a tape measure and train your eye for detail! This game is a draft. Special thanks to Maggie, Catie, and Abel. No AI whatsoever. Feel free to hack and remix. Necessary materials: Strip of paper or stick of scrap material at least 13 inches long Tape measure Pencil and eraser Pens One d4, d8, d12 and a coin Pile of d6s, d8s, d12s, and d20s
