DEITIES & DEMIDICE
INTRODUCTION
Dice & Card Game for 2+ players.
Pagan Pantheons Fantasy Theme.
VICTORY
There are 3 ways to win:
1. Reduce your opponent to zero dice.
2. Accumulate 10 or more dice.
3. Get an Auto-Win Dice Roll Combo Effect (5 of a kind).
DICE
Each player needs a set of 9 six-sided dice of a unique color (or Theme).
(Dice Lovers Rejoice!)
Note: 10 dice is a win, but having the 10th die is unnecessary.
THE DECKS
Each player will need a Deck.
Each card in a deck represents a Deity and grants a special power/ability.
Note, that if only 2 people are playing, they can share a single deck.
SETUP
Each player selects a deck and a set of dice.
Players roll high on 1D6 to see who goes first.
Each player draws a random starting hand from their deck of 2 cards.
POWER DICE & LATENT DICE
Players start the game only using 5 Power dice. This may increase during play.
The dice a player is using are called his Power Dice.
The dice he owns but cannot use are called Latent Dice.
BATCH ROLLS
When you roll all of your Power dice at once, this is referred to as a Batch roll.
TURN SEQUENCE
Players take turns.
Each turn has 6 Phases:
1. Fate Phase
2. Divine Power Phase
3. Destiny Phase
4. Eternal Struggle Phase
5. Judgment Phase
6. Sands of Time Phase
FATE PHASE
Draw the top card of your deck and add it to your hand.
If your deck runs out, shuffle your discard and draw from it.
DIVINE POWER PHASE
Certain cards are played in this phase.
DESTINY PHASE
Roll all your Power dice. (That is, make 1 Batch Roll)
(Note: At the beginning of the game, you start with 5 Power dice.)
ETERNAL STRUGGLE PHASE
Starting with the current player, players take turns playing cards to
Alter the current Power dice rolls.
This continues until all players pass in succession.
The current player is trying to create 1 or more combos with his Rolls.
A combo is (usually) 2 or more dice having the same result.
His opponents are trying to nullify his combos.
JUDGMENT PHASE
The current player applies Dice Roll Effects as per the Combo Effect Table
Example 1: If none of your dice match at all this is a Creation Result: You
Get 1 additional Power Die.
Example2: Lets say you have 5 dice, and you get the following rolls: 4,4,2,2,1:
This would be 2 Law Results: Draw 2 cards and add them to your hand
Example 3: You have 8 dice and you roll: 6,6,6,6,6,5,3,3: You got a
Victory Combo, and you automatically win the game.
Note: some cards are used during this phase.
