Age of War

Players roll seven custom dice and use the symbols to claim battle lines on a tableau of fourteen territory cards. Each turn a player selects a card and allocates dice to exactly one line on that card, then rerolls remaining dice to try to conquer additional lines; failing to conquer a line removes a die from the pool until either the card is fully taken or no dice remain. Cards belong to sets and score victory points; completing every card in a set makes those cards safe from capture and increases their value. Players may conquer lines on opponents’ cards but must pay an extra line to do so. The game ends when all cards are claimed and players total points.
