About the game
What you do in a play session
Unita is an abstract war game where 64 dice become battling armies - but forget luck, here it's all pure strategy! You control one of Helvetia's eccentric factions (like the Nuns of Friburga or Frogs of the Hexagon) in the fight for independence. Your goal? Lead your dice-army to the Magic Gate, facing opponents in combat where the weaker loses strength points. The magic lies in programmed movement (Action Queue) and tactical positioning - each die is a soldier, and how you move them determines who reaches the objective first. Despite the medieval war and fantasy theme, Unita is an elegant strategic puzzle where each match feels like chess with dice. Get ready for hours of 'one more game...' as you try to perfect your tactics!
