Disney Dreamlight Valley’s Scramblecoin: Perfect for Animal Crossing and Tales of the Shire

by

Ever since Disney Dreamlight Valley debuted in early access last year, it’s been continually enhancing its gameplay experience through updates and DLC packs. One of its most recent post-release additions not only offers a fresh gaming mode but could serve as an engaging inspiration for simulation games that Disney Dreamlight Valley competes against. Although this new feature may not be essential for all simulation games, it fits perfectly with the Animal Crossing series and Tales of the Shire in particular.

Simulation games are well-known for their mini-games, and this certainly applies to Disney Dreamlight Valley. One entertaining mini-game introduced in Disney Dreamlight Valley serves as a fantastic source of inspiration for similar games within the simulation genre.

Disney Dreamlight Valley’s Scramblecoin is Surprisingly Fun

In the A Rift in Time Expansion Pack update for Disney Dreamlight Valley, the game Scramblecoin was introduced. This board game can be played with the valley’s diverse villagers, who might occasionally refer to it as a “Bonus Game.” Players also have the option to challenge any villager for a game of Scramblecoin independently.

The game is played on an 8×8 grid of tiles, featuring randomly placed bodies of water, rocks, and fences in different sizes that serve as challenges. Similar to chess, Scramblecoin incorporates various distinctive characters, each following a specific trajectory. For instance, Stitch initiates the game by entering from the board’s edges and can move sideways three times. Each character boasts its own special skill, with Stitch possessing the power to pass through walls and demolish them.

As a devoted Scramblecoin enthusiast, I can attest to the fact that my standing, or Rank Value, is significantly influenced by the outcomes of our games. When I face an Eager Villager, I’m often rewarded with a higher number of Ranking Points. It’s interesting to note that each villager presents a unique challenge level and employs distinct game pieces. For instance, Belle, a Level 3 Scramblecoin player, deploys a unique lineup of figures including Cogsworth, Fairy Godmother, Lumiere, Mickey Mouse, and Remy in each match she plays.

Playing Scramblecoin not only grants Ranking Points, but also rewards Friendship with the opposing Villager after each game completed – 200 Friendship points if they are ordinary, or a whopping 1,000 points if they are Eager. This makes Scramblecoin an entertaining and slightly challenging method to amass Friendship, without needing to spend hours on character interactions and quests.

Other Simulation Games Need Their Own Scramblecoin

Incorporating a game like Scramblecoin could potentially enhance both the upcoming title of Animal Crossing and Tales of the Shire. Although specifics about these games remain tentative, as Animal Crossing’s next release is yet to be announced and Tales of the Shire will debut officially in March, certain elements confirmed in past Animal Crossing versions and early access features of Tales of the Shire align with Disney Dreamlight Valley.

In both versions of the game, you’ll certainly encounter interactions with the villagers. Although a proper friendship leveling system was initially introduced in New Horizons, building friendships among villagers has been an integral part of Animal Crossing for quite some time. Given that this feature is widespread in other simulation games, it’s reasonable to expect Tales of the Shire to adopt a similar approach. Introducing a separate game, different from Scramblecoin, that players can use to boost their friendship levels could be an engaging way to learn more about each game’s unique villagers as they progress.

In both scenarios, each game boasts its own distinctive villagers that could potentially populate the playing field of a new board game. For instance, a future version of Animal Crossing might include popular Dreamies as playing pieces. On the other hand, characters from The Hobbit like Gandalf the Grey and Bilbo Baggins could be used in Tales of the Shire, given that it occurs before the Lord of the Rings trilogy. Although Scramblecoin-style gameplay isn’t essential for Animal Crossing or Tales of the Shire, it plays a significant role in Disney Dreamlight Valley.
