About the game
What you do in a play session
Get ready to relive the nostalgia of the classic 'Snake' on your tabletop with Snakey Dice! Forget the old mobile phone and dying battery; here you'll use dice and a pencil to guide your snake across a grid, seeking power-ups and avoiding obstacles. In solo mode, up to six custom dice dictate your snake's movement on an 11x11 board. Collecting power-ups grants you abilities to manipulate dice, tunnel through blockades, or even teleport. But beware: each power-up adds more blockades to the grid, and one of the snake dice faces is precisely a blockade, making things tricky! The challenge is to see how far you can go before the inevitable 'game over'.
If competition calls, the multiplayer mode allows up to four players to maneuver their snakes on the same board. Here, the scramble for power-ups is intense, and in addition to dodging blockades, you'll need to avoid your opponents' snakes. Scoring is similar to solo mode, but with bonuses for being the first to reach level 4 of each power-up track and a generous 10 VP bonus for the last snake standing. For those who want more room to slither and a slightly longer game, there's the option to play on a larger 15x15 grid, ideal for four players. It's a fun and addictive 'roll and write' that brings the essence of a classic to your table!
