About the game
What you do in a play session
Each round, you roll dice to meet the requirements of citizen cards. You have up to three attempts to get the ideal combinations, using the re-rolling and locking dice mechanic, which adds a 'push your luck' twist to the gameplay. Some special cards can give you advantages, but watch out for 'scoundrels' and dragons that can disrupt your plans. The goal is to accumulate the most valuable citizens for your kingdom. In the end, whoever has the best people will be crowned the true King of the Dice! It's a light and quick game, perfect for those looking for fun with a touch of challenge.
