DICEWARS Instructions
"The objective is to conquer all territories and eliminate all your
opponents by attacking them with dice.
The single-player game may be played with up to seven (7) computer
opponents, selectable at the game's main menu. Simply choose a number
and let the game begin. You always play as violet.
Each turn you may attack any opponent's territory from one of your
adjacent territories as long as your territory has more than one (1) die
on it; and you may attack as many territories as you wish. Your turn
ends when you click the "End Turn" button.
dicewars illustrationThe rules of combat between two adjacent
territories are simple (see illustration): all dice on the attacking
territory are thrown and the total number of pips are added and compared
against the total of throwing all dice from the defending territory. If
the attacker's total is greater than the defender's, all attacking dice
(minus one) move onto the defender's territory thus capturing it, and
the defender dice for that territory are all removed. If the defender's
total is greater than or equal to the attacker's total, the attacker
loses all but one die for that territory.
No movement of dice is allowed between territories other than by
attacking as noted above. At the conclusion of each turn, the greatest
number of adjoining territories you have is calculated, and you are
awarded a bonus of that number of dice. They are then automatically and
randomly placed throughout all of your territories, up to a maximum of
eight (8) dice on a single territory." -
