About the game
What you do in a play session
Hey there, builders! Ready to get your hands dirty and construct Dadópolis's sixth district? In Distrito 6, each of you steps into the shoes of a visionary construction company, competing to leave your mark on the city's new area. The trick is to follow the official plan, but don't forget your own secret objectives that are worth a fortune at the end of the game. And of course, whoever does best on each floor gets extra points!
The game unfolds over four rounds, each divided into four phases that run like clockwork: first, we roll all the dice (our workers!), then, we allocate these dice to strategic spots on the board to secure the best benefits. In the construction phase, it's time to get hands-on and watch the district take shape, earning points. To wrap up each round, there's a cleanup phase to tidy everything up and start anew.
The cool part is that your dice are your workers and, at the same time, the constructions you build. This means with each play, you'll be reducing your own workforce, so you have to think carefully about where to invest! With variable setup to ensure each game is a fresh challenge, Distrito 6 is a dice-based strategy game that will make you think about every move. Will you be the master builder and dominate the new district? Let's find out!
