Hi all,
I would like to inform you about my new game <BARBOUTI> (soon available from https://amstradsakis.blogspot.com )

It is a traditional greek dice game, it will be on 2 versions, Greek and English.
It is a very simple game, very popular, but it is associated with gambling, especially on Christmas period.
At the beginning, one player holds the dice. The other decides the bet. The player who holds the dice throws them. There are 3 possibilities depending on the numbers on the dice.
WINNING COMBINATIONS: 6 6, 5 5 , 6 5 (OR 5 6 ), 3 3.
LOSE COMBINATIONS: 1 1, 2 2 , 1 2 (OR 2 1), 4 4.
If there is no WIN combination or LOSE combination, next player takes and throws the dice. In this game, bet cannot be changed until a player wins or loses.
The gameplay is very simple, as you only press <Space>.

Thats why I added 2 extra features: Capitalist Bank and Sell Watch.
If you accept loan from Capitalist bank, you will get some extra money.
If you sell your watch (your wife's present), you will also get some extra.

BUT: The possibilities of winning/losing, taking loan/not taking, and selling/not selling the watch lead to 8 different endings (<how the story ends>). The 8 different endings are a bad or a worse situation, as gambling has always bad results.

Will notify when ready (it is almost ready!) Thank you!
