## Description
OctoDice is a fast-paced, fun game that blends dice rolling with light strategy. Inspired by the Aquasphere theme, you play as a scientist managing an underwater lab. Each turn starts with rolling six dice (three white and three black), where color combinations represent different actions. The twist? You must choose two dice to discard each roll, adding an interesting decision layer. Your choices are recorded on a scoresheet, where you can even expand your lab for bonuses. The game has an interactive touch: other players can 'piggyback' on your rolls to take actions too! With just 6 rounds per player, OctoDice is perfect for those wanting a quick game with a strategic touch. And watch out: don't forget to deal with the rebellious octopuses along the way!
