Go creature-to-creature with your opponent in an all-out dice duel! If your creature has more power than your opponent, you win and your opponent's creature takes a hit. If you lose, your creature is out of the game. Be the first to collect all five power chips from Fire, Water, Nature, Light and Darkness and you'll win!
