Definitely one of the better dice games I’ve seen. My girlfriend also enjoys it which is always a plus

I had a chance to play this from a friend who owns it andI really like this game because it’s small and you can take it anywhere with you.
It comes with play sheets that can be copied and re-used so you don’t ever run out. On top of that, they give you a lot of the sheets anyway.
I like this game because it’s fast and there are still a lot of decisions for you to make. There might be a little down time in between players because you have to decide what you want to do with the dice results, but sometimes you can try to play ahead.
“If i get this type of resource, then i can put it here, but if not and i get another type… then i could use it here”.. so you might not actually notice the down time if you’re busy thinking
If you aren’t a fan of dice, then you might not like this game.. this is totally a dice game.
I think I’ve heard it compared to Yahtzee.

Great review. I have been looking at this one for a while, I think you have pushed me over the edge!

This is a cracking little game. It plays well from 1-4 people in around 20 minutes or so (per game, and you will invariably want to play again once you have finished). The production quality is high, the box is crammed full of components and it is great fun with dice to roll, pegs to move and some interesting tactical decisions to make. It is one of the cheaper games reviewed here, and with a free expansion available on the company’s website, has to be worth getting.
