About the game

What you do in a play session

In Pikit, get ready for a colossal clash where monsters and mechs battle for supremacy! Each round, the roll of the dice dictates your fate. You roll two dice, and if you get doubles, things get serious: you can claim a mecha matching that value, either one available on the table or, even more fun, steal one directly from another player! This is your chance to show who's boss and maybe make an enemy for the next round, haha. But don't worry if the dice don't roll doubles. There's still plenty of strategy involved! If you don't roll a pair, you can use the dice values in other ways – adding, subtracting, or whatever is allowed – to claim scoring cards. And these cards aren't just for the final tally; many come with special abilities that can turn the game around. Think about stealing cards from an opponent, drawing more cards for your hand, or even blocking that annoying effect your adversary was planning. The goal is to accumulate as many points as possible until the deck of cards runs out. When the last card is drawn, the game ends, and the player with the highest score is crowned the champion of monsters and mechs. Pikit is an exciting race where luck and tactics blend to ensure every game is a memorable battle!
