However, a die gets rerolled whenever it is knocked about by friend or foe. A strategic game of position and calculation.

Creator Note

"The concept is what intriques me... the using of dice as both counters and as random number generators. It's a very elegant strategy game in which you're always calculating odds. It's a game where a lot can change with one well-placed (and a little lucky) knock."

— Greg Lam
