Chore Wars game/system review

Chore Wars is a multiplayer game (available in www.chorewars.com) where the goal is to gamify household chores with other household members.

𝗚𝗮𝗺𝗶𝗳𝗶𝗰𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗦𝘁𝘆𝗹𝗲

Limited Gamification - the goal is to do household chores (though one can tweak it if they want).

𝗚𝗮𝗺𝗶𝗳𝗶𝗰𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗗𝗲𝗽𝘁𝗵

Quite simple gamification. To some extent it's similar to parties in Habitica.

𝗠𝗮𝗶𝗻 𝗚𝗮𝗺𝗲 𝗘𝗻𝘁𝗶𝘁𝗶𝗲𝘀

Party - group of household.
Adventures - chores to do. There are less and difficult adventures e.g. cleaning the bathroom gives 3.5 more EXP than making a bed.
Character Sheet - it contain stats like strength or charisma (effects the result of combats), XP and intentory (that can be used to sell rewards).
Combat - for doing adventure the player can claim a fight with some monster and gain EXP and some rewards in case the fight will be won (result depends on the player stats).

𝗠𝗮𝗶𝗻 𝗚𝗮𝗺𝗲 𝗟𝗼𝗼𝗽

𝗠𝗼𝘁𝗶𝘃𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗦𝘆𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗺

Competition (or rather collaboration) with other people
Spending earned gold on rewards (this is very optional - almost no game logic exist to support it)

𝗣𝗿𝗼𝗱𝘂𝗰𝘁𝗶𝘃𝗶𝘁𝘆 𝗦𝘆𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗺

It's about doing chores so the house is more clean as a result of playing the game
It also provides a way to have more fair division of doing chores between members of the house (though there is no game constraint that enforces it)

𝗣𝗿𝗼𝘀

𝗖𝗼𝗻𝘀

It doesn't put any logic to make the game fair between members - one member can do most of the adventures and others nothing
Real rewards could be more explicit - they are very impicit
