The online player base is relatively small (about 700 regular online players), but many of them are fairly dedicated.Ī much greater number of users play the game off-line with computer AI opponents. The ranking system is very competitive, and has evolved into a two-tiered system where each player has a score in the current week, as well as a seeded place depending on the last 16 weeks of play. Like many online turn-based board games, Lux includes a chat capability, allowing conversation, tactical discussions, offers of alliance, etc., and some players use this as a political tool in their play to great advantage.
However, in spite of the randomness there exists a regular group of players who dominate the multiplayer rankings. Like Risk, winning in Lux requires both skill and luck, with every attack hanging on the result of a dice roll. Awards are distributed on a player's rankings page, along with win percentage, games, and more. Aside from the weekly medals, players compete for the best seed, the calculation of a player's best weekly ranking. These games are recorded, and the player with the most Raw at the end of the week is awarded a virtual medal. Players play for "Raw," which is awarded or taken away for winning or losing games. Regardless of the map, the objective of the game is the same: eliminate all other players so only one remains. Lux has over 900 maps, each varying in size, shape, and complexity. Up to six players can play at once, and any empty spot in the game is filled up by "bots," or computer AI personalities. Lux Delux is a Risk-style clone with generally similar rules to the original.
