Wendel Scardua's dice board game HappyNESs, made for the #1JAM Party jam in March 2020.

Pawns travel a looping stone path, rolling a die each turn and collecting suits by passing over suit squares. If you land on a square someone already holds, you move on further and they get an extra roll next turn. Crossing a bridge blocks it for a while. To win you need all eight suit squares, four green and four blue, and then the trophy square.

A browser version followed soon after release, and the source code is on GitHub.

How to play

Controls: Pick the number of players with the arrows and press Start. On your turn press A to roll.
