Ada Lovelace: Consulting Mathematician (2017)

Giới thiệu

It is the summer of 1842 and the finest mathematicians from around the world have gathered at The Archimedes’ Museum of Mathematics for a grand soiree! Amidst all the merriment, a terrible crime occurs — the robbery of the priceless Lebombo Bone artefact.

Evidence of the theft has been scattered across the museum grounds. Only Ada Lovelace — pioneer of the Analytical Machine and part-time sleuth — is up to the challenge of solving the crime. Time is of the essence and she must work quickly to examine each room of the museum and assess each piece of evidence. She has only minutes before the trail goes cold.

In Ada Lovelace: Consulting Mathematician, players assemble polyomino pieces on a map of the Archimedes’ Museum of Mathematics, aiming to capture key pieces of criminal evidence. Doing so may grant the player extra abilities they can use in future turns, allowing them to more efficiently search the map. After five rounds, the player scores points based on how many pieces of evidence were captured, how many rooms were searched, and how many abilities were unlocked.

Ada Lovelace: Consulting Mathematician is a solo roll-and-write game. It was a finalist in the GenCan't Roll and Write Contest, 2017.
