A dice game that plays a little like chess . . . and a lot like nothing you've ever seen before!

Played on a standard chessboard, each side gets eight unique, custom dice, with a different piece on each face. You start with eight pawns, and each turn you get to change one of your dice to a more powerful piece. But as your pieces get more powerful, they become worth more points to your opponent!

The game is easy to learn, but mastering the intricate strategies will prove much harder . . .
