Dice City
Players lead rival noble families trying to make their provincial city the new capital after the old one was destroyed. Each turn, dice represent citizens and resources; players place dice on city locations to activate those sites, change dice faces, generate resources, build structures, recruit armies, and fight bandits. Gameplay revolves around dice-crafting—upgrading and rerolling dice faces—resource management, and choosing whether to develop military, civic, or trade buildings to earn influence and votes.
