INTRODUCTION:

STEEMJET: Basic is a simple, easy-to-play board game enjoyed by 4 players, known as Steemjetters. It is composed of a square-shaped board with yellow, red, green and blue small squares at the edges -- known as Steemjetters' Jet Base (hence, "Yellow Jet Base," "Red Jet Base," "Green Jet Base" and "Blue Jet Base" -- whereas multiple small squares of 144 pieces are compacted to form the remainder of the square as shown in Figure 1 bellow:

STARTING

On the Jet Base of each Steemjetters starting point is an enigmatic inscription: It Starts & Ends Here! It simply means that the game starts where it will end: the Jet Base. That being said, let the game begin.

To start the game, the Yellow Steemjetter will be the first roll the die, and count whatever number the die displays on its surface. If the number is one, he (she) will count his plate one time; if two, two time; if three, three times, and so on. As a rule-of-the thumb, the flow of play is clockwise direction. Therefore, the Red Steemjetters will be the next to play, and will follow the same rule applied by the Yellow Steemjetter while counting out of the Base.

Please note that the initial counting out of the plates be they Yellow, Red, Green or Blue will follow a Diagonal mode (or pattern) of movement until each plate hits a pre-destined small blue square marked YEL JS#1 for Yellow; “RED JS#1” for Red; GRE JS#1 for Green and BLU JS#1 for Blue. Only then, after entering the pre-destined square, can the player decide to alter the movement mode of his (her) plate to Vertical-Horizontal as this mode of movement offers the most effective means of achieving a player goal faster than the Diagonal mode of movement. (This will be elaborated in details in an upcoming video presentation which will demonstrate how the game is played. Stay tuned.)

WHILE PLAYING

Once your plate hits a YEL JS#1 for Yellow; RED JS#1 for Red; GRE JS#1 for Green and BLU JS#1 for Blue, you will pick a *Steemjet Card #1, which will direct you to your next destination direction #2, and so on. However, before hitting #1, you will notice some images of a jet zooming above Earth heading into space. If your plate happens to enter into any of them while you’re playing, then you are in trouble! Why? Because that image represents a distraction as well as a setback to your mission. It then means that you will have to pick an Escape Velocity card, then redeem yourself with the *Steem Dreem card. Once this is done after redeeming yourself, then you will continue on your normal mission of counting from #1 to #6, before you were distracted by the Escape Velocity.

(Confusing? Not to worry. All of these will be elaborated in details in the upcoming video presentation which will demonstrate how the game is played. Stay tuned.)

THE CARDS

There are 3 categories of cards in the game:

  1. The “Steemjet Cards” #1 to #6;
  2. The “Escape Velocity" cards, and;
  3. The "Steem Dream” cards.

Whereas the Steemjet Cards direct you to your next destination, the Escape Velociy cards distracts your, while the Steem Dream cards delivers you from the pitfall of Escape Velocity,” so you can continue your journey by scheming your plate systematically through the 6 steps it will take you to reach your final destination which is actually where your plate first stepped out in the course of your scheming your plate the Jet Base.

MESSAGES

Perusing through the backs of the Steemjet Cards #1 to #6, you will notice some brief emphasis on the message of the Steem currency, Steemit popularity, and Steemjet philosophy which is summarized in three simple words: Steem Global Adoption. These summarized messages are just the introductory aspects of the Steem, Steemit, and Steemjet Global Campaign to make Steem the universal currency of Earth. Hence, the game STEEMJET Basic is more of a base of basic introduction into the world of Steem, Steemit, and Steemjet.

(Subsequent games will be built upon the philosophy of Steemjet in advanced formats, the details of which is still being brewed Stay tuned.)

A POINT TO CONSIDER

As much as this is a race whose aim is to produce the 1st, 2nd and 3rd winners out of the 4 players, it is noteworthy to consider that overlapping or displacement is a striking point in this game. In other words, when a Steemjetters plate overlaps another players plate, the overlapped plate will automatically be taken back to its Jet Base. Additionally, the displaced player will lose the most recent Steemjet Card in his (her) possession, in effect. For example if the most recent Steemjet Card in the possession of the Steemjetter that was overlapped happened to be Steemjet Card #5, then he (she) will drop that particular card while stepping back to his (her) Jet Base.

When this happens at the point of displacement or overlapping the displacing player will exclaim: "Spaceforce!" While the displaced player will respond in a mock-hurt gesture: "Mayday!" then drop the most recent Steemjet Card in his position while stepping pack to base. From there he will start scheming to reclaim his lost Steemjet Card, as the game goes on

ENDING

At the end of the game only three winners will be considered out of the four; unless, of course it is played by two players which is another option. In this case (where two players are involved) there is just the winner and the looser.

In summary, STEEMJET Basic is still in its Beta stage. Though it has been perfected in design (or so it seems), @steemjetgames still wants you to play it and give feedbacks on how the game can be improved, on the details. If the details on how to play it are still confusing to you, please feel free to ask questions, and @steemjetgames will be glad to address your questions. @steejetgames will appreciate your comments, either of congratulations or recommendations, or both. @steemjetgames will also appreciate your support, Upvotes, Follows and Re-steem a lot -- A WHOLE LOT!

Have a nice day, Steemians & Steemjetters!

Beautiful concept.

Thank you, @lordjames, for the complement... @steemjetgames appreciate you.

With the aid of one or two programmers and animators this game could be played online. Though it will be costly to archive that. But @dimimp could take care of this. I suggest you appeal to @dimimp to sponsor.
2,000steem to 3,000steem could take care of that. I think it will be more interesting to also be played online with the glory bouncing back to steemjet and @dimimp in person from the name STEEMJET: Basic. Showing that it's a board game powered by steemjet. It popularity could exit the world's known most popular games thus increasing chances of steem global adoption. Thank you @steemjetgames. It just a suggestion anyway.

Thanks, @gabowisdy, for that wonderful thought. It's as if you're reading @steemjetgames' mind. As a matter of fact, that's the next phase of action after this phase of getting everybody to understand how the game works. A lot is to be done. And @steemjetgames is putting in a lot also to get things done...

Surely, programmers and animators will be involved eventually. @steemjetgames understands this project to be a high-budget one, and is ready whatever it takes to achieve Global Steem Adoption through the Games Project.

Again, thanks for the wonderful thought, @gabowisdy.

Thanks, @gabowisdy. Sorry for the late reply, though...

Fantastic! This is indeed an exhilarating innovation. A games department in Steemit? "Steemjet Basic." When is it up for sale? I'd like to buy a copy. Is there a chance it can be played online? I think you should do that so it can be more accessible to a larger number of people. Have you considered making it Steemit-friendly so people can earn money and upvote while playing it online? Think about it. I have a good feeling about this.

Keep up the good work, @steemjetgames!

Thanks, @ninalex. Your thoughts are quite insightful. Rest assured it will be on sell as soon as @steemjetgames takes care of some pending logistics concerning mass production and sales. We are working very hard to make that a reality. Projects like this take a lot of money to execute. And @steemjetgames is working tirelessly to raise the needed money to make it happen. We will keep in touch about our updates and development...

About the online part of the game, we will surely come to that point in the nearest future...

Wow! Detailed explanation with assurance of an upcoming video explanation.
To me have gotten the full gist on how it's played already.

▪️Where you start is where you will end
▪️Movements is with the steemjet cards 1# to #6
▪️The jet crash, obstacle occure, movement is impaired when your jet or your plate capsides into space of a zooming jet ▪️then there is trouble that's where you go for the escape velocity cards & redeem yourself with the steem dream card. 👉Then movement or the flight continues untill you return to your starting point.

Hope my understanding is in accordance with the explanation given above
@fidelmboro & @igwentertainment I must say you guys are extra talented by using the whole concept of STEEMJET to invent such a wonderful game. I will love to have a copy or one of the board with it manual when it's finally printed please.

Innovative thought, @joachimabara -- nice shot!

Hey @steemjetgames nothing differentiates you with The Wright Brothers and Wilbur who are known as the first persons to invent, design and fly the first successful airplane. I'm a newbie my reputation informs that. I just joined Steemit but the talents I'm seeing shows that Steemit is a place of good content. Kuddos @steemjetgames i suggest you put up a contest when everything is finalized.

Thanks, @mfon, for your positive thought of encouragement. Wright Brothers, you say? That's huge! The brains behind the @steemjetgames dream will surely do theirs best to achieve the "Wright" Dream, that's @fidelmboro & @igwentertainment (myself, ha ha!)

Wow.
This is a brilliant concept. I hope @dimimp would visit it soon
