Doom Machine

Face an evolving, modular machine threatening humanity in a compact solo card-and-dice game. Players roll and modify a pool of dice, allocate results to shields to block incoming hits or to active machine part cards to deal damage, and use abilities to tweak outcomes. The machine advances each turn: its parts cycle along individual AI tracks, trigger hostile effects, and shift down the line as new parts are added. Destroying parts grants additional dice, but the machine’s growth and cycling increase pressure until the doom core is found and eliminated.
