PenSylvania 2020

This is one of the games featured in Dice & Ink: A Roll & Write Anthology, and exists as part of that compilation.

In PenSylvania, manage the rustic logging village of Sylvania, which lies on the edge of the forest. The forest is rife with resources to use to develop the village, sell down the river, or protect your livestock. In this competitive resource management game, will you be able to both take care of the town and sell goods down the river for the highest score?

On your Turn:

Roll the dice and then rank them from largest to smallest, Then either choose the two highest dice or the three lowest; the other players get to use the set you didn’t pick. Use the dice you picked (or were dealt) for various actions, such as: exploring deeper into the forest, hauling logs out of the forest, selling goods down the river, buying the tools you need, placing fences in your pasture, or constructing buildings.

Buildings make your work more efficient, and fences make sure you can raise valuable livestock. But of course, it is not all hard work in Sylvania: the annual bonfire is coming up and it is a festival the entire village works towards. Bonuses await for those who help out with preparations!

PenSylvania requires five standard six-sided dice. Components include one player sheet per player
