My BGG Comment

Cooperative dice manipulation. The dice are stacked in a big cube which players have to reduce. Have to play more. Rating: ? 2026: Someone in this house likes dice and games with dice. So I keep buying games in order to entice them to the table. This one is special because you build a big meta-die from the smaller dice and then you deconstruct it. But beyond the gimmick it's basically a cooperative set collection game in the pandemic tradition. Do 3 actions from a limited set, have the game create problems, if the problems add up march the explosion marker along it's track. Collect all the sets before the explosion marker hits the limit. I prefer actual pandemic on the map. Have yet to get the dice fan to play this with me--possibly because I find this less than interesting. But I had forgotten that when I returned it to the table after not a year. This is probably better with actual 2 players or more. As a solo you simply play two handed. Rating 6

I could also easily teach this but there are some fiddly parts I would probably forget to explain. * Keeper: Not really. Unless multiplayer happens and turns out good. * Recommended: If you really really like dice or pandemic-likes a lot. But beware the gimmick. It does nothing to make the decisions of the game more interesting. * Competition: Cubitos (dice), Grove (dice), Mythical Dice (dice), Pandemic et al (classic cooperative)
