By fighting and gaining the will of the tribune you will be able to get the right combination of moves to win the game. You will control 5 dice with different cards that represent your preparation, the love of the people and the tricks you've learned through your days in the arena. You have to get a special order of symbols to get the ultimate move to defeat your enemies. But beware! All other gladiators are trying to get that same combination and they will do their best to make you fail! The objective of the game is completing a certain order of symbols set by a "combo card" each dice has 6 different symbols and they have to both match the symbols and their order shown in the "combi card" to win the game. You begin the game by rolling your 5 dice and leaving them in the order you rolled them, then you draw 4 cards from the deck. Each turn, you play one card from your hand and draw another, cards affect your dice or your enemies'. Move them around, change them, or re-roll them to get the winning combination! You must be fast and finish before someone else completes it or changes the required combination seconds before you win the game! Bloody sands Dice es un juego basado en el universo de Cruentis que es el mismo de bloody sands arena, a diferencia de arena aquí encontraremos dados, estos están personalizados con un símbolo en cada una de sus caras. Cada jugador tiene a su mando 5 dados, 4 de ellos en el juego son denominados “tus dados” y el quinto que funciona como una especie de comodín es denominado “el favor del público”; también en el juego existe un mazo de 98 cartas que son las que harán cambiar a los dados de sitio, cara y orden, el orden es muy importante ya que existen 10 combinaciones en el juego y siempre habrá una y solo una en juego que es la meta a conseguir para ganarlo, es decir, el que logre completar la secuencia que esta puesta en juego (que es una carta más) gana, aunque hay una dificultad y es que en cualquier momento alguien podría cambiar esta combinación si lo permites. Otra cosa interesante de este juego es la cantidad de jugadores que pueden entrar, con una caja pueden divertirse hasta 6 personas y lo mejor de todo es que si el cupo no está lleno en cualquier momento de la partida puede entrar un nuevo jugador sin afectar el desarrollo del juego. En fin es un juego de astucia y mucha diversión que te hará pasar un gran rato con tu familia y amigos. Contents: 98 beautifully illustrated cards 30 personalized dice Rules
