At higher player counts, the game can accelerate pretty rapidly as a result (you could get 6 dice between turns, often enough to complete a card!). At lower player counts, it’s a bit harder to get started, as you aren’t getting that many additional dice when it’s not your turn (because there are fewer players). I’d say in terms of how the game is played, it can be pretty different as player counts increase. The player with the most points wins! Player Count Differences That’ll teach you for being presumptuous.Īfter the game ends, tally up your points on those handy tally cards.

If you, by some ancient magic, have finished every card in your grid, you have to still take your turn and roll three times, giving your opponents free dice on your rerolls. Finish the round, and then play one more complete round. The game ends once any player has taken their ninth card and completed their grid. Market Chance: You may take the top face-down card from either market deck and either add it to your grid or discard it to the bottom of the deck.You may only use each of the two dice once, and they can be used on the same card or different cards. Dice Chance: You can use any two dice on your cards.Scoring Cards (may) give you points, and Bonus Cards give you a finite number of special abilities to try and help you get even more points.Īfter two rerolls, if you have nothing you want you may do one of the following Chance actions: You see, cards are either Scoring Cards or Bonus Cards. But once you complete a card, then they really come into their own. Some cards have requirements like values that need to be less than others or equal to others or certain values need to be from certain dice colors. When we talk about “using dice”, we really mean that you write the die’s value on a card or cross that value off of a card. It’s very generous of you, if you think about it. Instead, your opponents can take any one value on the dice you rerolled and use it on one of their cards. Once you’ve done that, hold up for a second! You don’t get to reroll dice for free. Place dice you’re not rerolling on the Construction Zone, and reroll the rest. If you can’t or don’t want to do either of those things, you may reroll any of your dice up to two additional times. Your grid cannot be more than 3×3, so choose the location carefully! Once you do that, slide the remaining cards to the right to fill the gap and reveal a new card from that stack. If you do, choose a card and add it to your grid. You can instead buy a card from the Market, provided you have three or four dice of the same value. You cannot use the dice unless the card will be completed. You may use any number of them, provided: But be careful! You can only use dice on your turn if they will complete one entire card, and rerolls give your opponents opportunities to score, themselves! Build up your grid and try to make the points work for you. In Divvy Dice, your goal is to score as many points as possible by completing your cards. You can play them in a single row or column, but that may make your life harder, later. Deal each player two, and then place four face-up along the top half of the Market:ĭo the same thing for the Bonus Cards each player should get two, and four more should go face-up along the bottom half of the Market:įinally, choose a player to go first and distribute the appropriate Tally Cards, or shuffle them and use that to determine who goes first:įrom the four cards they have, each player now returns one card to the bottom of its deck, and plays the remaining three in some configuration so that they are adjacent to each other. What peril awaits you? You’ll just have to keep reading and find out! Contents The problem is that a lot of the cards can’t be completed so easily. Dead simple, right? Game’s over in 9 turns, maybe a few more. The problem is that basically every turn, you’re going to have to try to complete a card.


In Divvy Dice, you’ve got to try to avoid splitting things up! But it’s not so simple. Hope that by the time you read this, things are better! Onto Divvy Dice! We’ve had some exciting things happen, but it’s been a pretty tough 12 months. Either way, I appreciate y’all sticking with the site through a tumultuous year. I’m hoping to burn some time before the end of the month fulfilling a few more of these reviews before things really wrap up so that I’m a bit more ahead of the curve in 2021 than I have been this year. Which is nice! It means I’m back to almost something approximating normal, as opposed to being a bit behind the 8 ball for a few weeks / months / all of 2020.

I suppose this is an exciting milestone, in that I’m not totally sure when this review is going to be published.
