Description
The year is 2112 and Earth's resources are running out, so it's time to explore a new planet and transform it into our new home. In Dice Colony, you'll embark on a thrilling adventure to colonize and terraform a distant world, gathering resources and solving unexpected mishaps along the way. This roll and write style game is easy to learn, but don't be fooled - it requires careful planning and adaptability to come out on top. With a playtime of just 30 to 60 minutes, you can dive into the action quickly, and the simple rules make it accessible to players of all skill levels. As you play, you'll draw three dice from the bag each turn, choosing one to add to your planet. The color of the die represents the type of resource you'll collect, while the number indicates how far you can draw it from existing spaces on your map. You'll need to think strategically about how to expand your territory, forming groups, founding colonies, and completing objectives to earn points. But that's not all - you'll also collect energy, which you can use to modify the value of a die in future turns, reducing randomness and helping you stay on track. With one to four players able to join in on the fun, Dice Colony is a great game to enjoy with friends or family, and its science fiction setting adds an extra layer of excitement to the gameplay. As you explore, colonize, and terraform your new home, you'll discover its resources and overcome challenges to create a thriving colony. With the guidance of game designer Luis da Ponte, Dice Colony offers a unique and engaging experience that's out of this world. Published in 2022, this game is a fresh take on the dice rolling and territory building genres, and its mix of enclosure and map reduction mechanics adds a fresh twist to the gameplay. So why not give it a try and see if you have what it takes to build a new home for humanity? With its unique blend of strategy and luck, Dice Colony is sure to provide hours of entertaining gameplay.
