About the game
You are drifting on a deserted island because your ship has been wrecked. The weather on the island is fickle and getting worse, and the island is inhabited by dangerous beasts. You must somehow survive and escape from the terrible island! Dieson Crusoe is a single player dice game. You will have to use your dice wisely to survive on a deserted island and complete your quest. Store food, gather resources, craft tools, and explore the island. But be careful. You'll also need roofs and fences to avoid harsh weather and ward off raids. The core mechanic is Dice Rondel system. Each day (round) uses 3 dice. Players have to think about what order to use them. The dice value determines both the type of action and the effect of the action. You'll have to figure out which sequence works best for you. The sequence, also determines the weather and raids of the next day (next round). Actions that are effective today can pay off tomorrow's damage. Will you pursue efficiency today or safety tomorrow? Will you create your own solution to the dilemma? —description from the publisher
