## Description
After defeating dragons, disarming traps, and hoarding treasures, there's one thing left: opening the chests! Lockpicks is a solo print-and-play game where you use dice and strategy to unlock 12 chests full of rewards. Each chest is a grid with start points, paths, and targets that need to be activated. Each turn, you roll five dice and use the numbers to move like chess pieces, trying to complete the path before time runs out. If you succeed, roll a die to grab a treasure—some give points, others help with future challenges. But be careful: if you take too long, the guards (or the dragon, or the treasure owner) might show up and make you lose everything! A quick and addictive game for puzzle and push-your-luck fans.
