The Pirate's Dice

Three columns. Nine dice. One board to fill before your rival does. The Pirate's Dice is a fast duel of dice and denial. Roll your die, drop it into one of your three columns — and watch it blow every enemy die of the same value out of the facing column. Building a stack is good. Taking your rival's stack apart is better. HOW IT PLAYS • A column scores value x count, squared: three 4s are worth 36, not 12. • Drop a die and every enemy die of that value in the same column is destroyed. • The match ends the moment one board is full. Highest total wins. • Matches last two or three minutes. One hand, one thumb, no tutorial needed. FIVE CAPTAINS, FIVE WAYS TO PLAY Pick a captain on the deck and you pick a style.
