Spookybot is a chill entity. Also, is this the first time they've used a first person singular pronoun?

JD

I noticed that too. Maybe because they're speaking for their character who is just one person?

Sam J

Sounds like a fantasy version of the game Dread

Noise

Mornington Crescent would be much more interesting with grenade launchers, too.

I also choose to launch a grenade!

I'm finally recognizing Melon is not dumb, she's like Emily- a very specialized savant!

Ting

Fireball is always the correct spell for the situation.

Joel Bateman

I still stand by my theory that Melon is a super genius. But that's just a theory...a GAME...

I love how Yay just takes Melon in stride. She's not weird. She's not wrong. She's just different. (OK, to be fair, Melon <i><b>is</b></i> weird, but she's <i>my</i> kind of weird.) Who cares if she's making it up as she goes? It's fun! And when you think about it, weren't all games made up as they went?

Peter McDevitt

oh cool; they're playing CalvinBlock.

TMN

I was fully prepared for the third panel being Spookybot going into the psychological warfare of regularJenga, and was pleasantly surprised by the Calvinball twist!

Thisguy

Yay seems to get on with Melon extremely well. Probably find the eccentricity of Melon to be amusing.

I’m pretty sure that’s in the Northern Ireland rule set.

The block Yay just placed disappeared between panels 2 and 3 😛

Bagge

Sounds like fun!

Sleepy John

She also is very good at tic tac toc tuc tyc tec toe.

I also like how block "32" is clearly counted in a quasi-ternary system. (First digit is level starting with 1, second digit is 0, 1, or 2 depending on position in the level.) Or possibly the counting is decimal but just starts at 11. Either way, since there are only 30 blocks, it's not just counting starting at 1. But both of the above systems match the missing blocks, so. As does the variant of the first that starts the level at 0 and has the blocks as 1, 2, or 3. Clever Jeph is clever.

Bastinenz

Yeah, I'm still convinced she is the mastermind that created and controls the Spookybot network from the shadows and takes some kind of perverse pleasure in their new "personal" interactions, with the Spookybots being absolutely clueless about it all.

Bill Hall

D &amp; J! Been many years since I’ve been that wasted ...

Taylor Kendall

So how much a month for the full game?

Mark P.

Move block to top. "Do you (random activity) or launch a grenade?"

Shawn K. Younkin

To be fair, everyone seems to get along quite well w/ Melon. Even when she randomly just appears in your apartment, everyone just accepts the fact that she is just a friendly, harmless, AI.

Da Nargh!!

I demand to know the full ruleset

How dare you think that of our sweet special child Melon. Bless her heart lol.

Jere

I also would launch a grenade :D

Anonymous

That missing block! Where did it go! Spooky AI!

Dallas Hicks

It's a shame they don't realize that all they have to do is use the Calvinball for an automatic victory...

Churchill (formerly TeaBear)

The most important question, which I have not seen asked is: "What happens when you launch a grenade?"

Flounder

Just noticed that Yay has human-style speech balloons instead of AI-style balloons. Huh.

Elijah Holzapfel

Just so you know, there is an RPG system called Dread that uses a Jenga tower instead of dice. The theory being that as the game goes on the skill checks get harder and harder, and the monsters harder to kill. It is fun.
