Adoro esta temática. Muy buen juego de gestión de dados. Para mi innecesaria su expansión.

This is a clever dice drafting game, where your goal is to construct an effective roll playing game style character. Since each player gets a different character class, each player has different dice color goals. There's also some competition for the various item cards that come out, as taking a die from the draft of higher value sinks your buy order to the back of the line. The theme comes across in cute ways, and it's an overall good design, although I find myself having a hard time getting really excited about anything that's happening in it. I like all the little thematic touches, but it feels almost a little too long for the experience it delivers. When you add a die to a row, you also get a neat little ability that let's you mitigate some of the various luck elements in the game. Overall this is great, but the bottom ability where you get a special pseudo dollar that goes away at the end of the round seems a bit uninspired. overall the components are fine, although the art leaves a little to be desired. It's very dark, heavy colors across the board, and many of the character portraits don't look very nice. It'd also be nice if the dice were a little nicer. They're pretty plain here, especially compared to it's cousin Sagrada. Push comes to shove I'll take this over Sagrada mechanically, but I feel like the two games should get together for a cup of coffee or something and see what the other has to say. :star: Art, Iconography and components functional :star: Clever or interesting mechanisms :star: Reasonably low downtime between turns with mildly AP players :nostar: Multiple plays stay interesting :star: Low or mitigatable luck elements :star::star::nostar::nostar::nostar: Raw enjoyment
