Dice-ki 2021

"The die is not cast." Dice are used as pieces, but no dice are rolled. It is a Shogi-like board game focusing on the position of the "●" on the die.

The premise of this game is "number of dice rolls = points upon winning".

There are three conditions for winning (1) The total number of die rolls won exceeds 10. (2) Two consecutive dice with the same number of dice are taken. (3) Taking 3 of your opponent's dice.

The first player to achieve this wins the game.

However, this game is unique in the way the dice are moved. The position of the "●" on the die's eye is the range of the die's movement. For example, if the die is a 4, it is a die that moves one square to each of the four corners. If the die has a "●" in the center (1, 3, or 5), it will advance one square to the opponent's side.

When and how many squares are to be advanced, and which way the dice are to be turned? This is an abstract game where you have to make careful decisions.
