Luck profile

Island Dice has a moderate influence of luck. Random elements such as dice rolls play a notable but not exclusive role in determining the game outcome. Players have some ability to mitigate the effects of randomness through strategic decisions and planning. The game strikes a balanced mix of luck and strategy, making it suitable for players who enjoy a combination of both elements.

Overview

Survive the Players, Survive the Island, Survive the DICE. Playtime - 30 minutes plus. Players can set a time limit or set the playing area for shorter or longer games. Game Play: Choice, Strategy, and Chance will be used each turn in the attempt to unite the island or eliminate your opponents. More strategy than chance. Each turn you will roll SIX dice simultaneously. Three dice will determine your movement, your income, and your chance at more population. Three more dice will be chosen from the eleven additional option dice. They include native movement dice, the Protection Die, the Restriction Die, the Kill Die, and the dreaded Cataclysm Die. With all these results, choose how and when to resolve each die to further yourself and your own survival. Will you choose to attack, run, fortify, or do you have something else in mind?
