Dice Board Games Overview
In this game, the dice do not belong to the players. Instead, they are public. Players can freely choose the dice they want from them. But they need to pay the corresponding money for the dice they choose. The larger the points, the larger the number. Therefore, in this game, the dice plays more of a role as a random number generator. Although it is crucial to the game, it is relatively fair. The actions of players in the game not complicated. All you need to do is place the dice and take the cards. Then place the dice. Starting from the starting player, take turns to choose a dice and place it in any of the four empty rows on the left side of the board. The first row arranged from small to large according to the dice points. The others arranged from large to small according to the dice points. Then in the next stage, players will get the corresponding cards according to this order. The benefits that cards can give to players are divided into two parts. One part is the ability described on the card. The other part is a fixed influence reward.
Dice Game Gameplay Introduction
There are 5 types of dice in the dice board games, and each of them corresponds to an influence track except white. In each round, the player will get 3 dice, and the player will settle the income of the corresponding track according to the color of the dice obtained. White can choose any track income. If the same color dice is obtained, the corresponding influence track will be settled repeatedly. The yellow merchant track will provide gold coins. The gray councilor track will provide guards. The green scholar track will provide points. The purple priest track allows players to move on the pilgrimage board.
Dice Game Playability Analysis
Players don’t actually have to make many decisions. The time spent on explaining the rules is not much. It takes about 15 minutes to explain the rules thoroughly. If it weren’t for the fact that the amount of text on the cards of this game relatively large, it would be almost no problem for newcomers to get started. Therefore, the current heavy rating on BGG is only 3.27. It is relatively mediocre in the German family. So some players would call it a light strategy.
Although the number of choices is high, the quality of each decision is very high. Each move must take into account the order of obtaining cards and the income obtained at the end of the round. These two factors are intertwined. A certain degree of trade-off must be made. Then consider the combo of possible cards. The combo that others want to achieve, etc. If you really want to make every move perfect, you need to think a lot. If there are players who take a long time to think in the game, the game time will often be greatly extended. However, this also gives players a very strong restartability.
