King of the Dice

Players build a medieval fantasy kingdom by recruiting citizens and resolving events using dice rolls. On a turn, players roll and re-roll a hand of dice up to three times to match symbols and fulfill requirements on citizen and special cards, then claim those cards for their tableau. Special cards grant ongoing benefits or immediate effects, while hazard cards like scoundrels and dragons introduce setbacks that must be managed. Play continues as players expand their collections and engine, and the game ends when scoring conditions are met; the player with the most valuable set of citizens and effects wins.

    Juego tipo filler, muy sencillo pero que suele gustar a pesar de que tiene muy poco recorrido. Muchísimo azar y escasa estrategia. Un juego simpático para romper el hielo sin darle demasiadas vueltas al coco.
