DOCE (2018)

About this game

Challenge and outwit your opponents in this new strategic and tactical dice game. You and your opponent choose a color set of dice, one marker and one blocker. Take turns placing a die on any available square on the grid. Make a line of 4 of your own dice that equal 12. You may also win by strategically using one of your opponents’ die that is already in play, but it must be either at the beginning or at the end of your line, meaning 3 of your dice must be connected. Score the round. Play a total of 4 rounds, alternating 1st player. The person with the most points at the end of the 4th round wins the game. —description from the publisher

Does it fit your group?

• Group size. Strictly 2 players — no more, no fewer.
• Rules load. At 1.8/5 this is a light game — explain it in a few minutes, good for a table that has not played much.
• Age. The publisher suggests 9 and up. That rates the rules rather than the artwork, so judge the box yourself for younger players.
