About the game
Paradice is a game of dice placement and set collection where each player will complete different stalls to reach the maximum number of points at the end of the game. On their turn, players can do one of the following actions: Pick on or more dice from the vending machine grouped by color or number and place them on the stall cards following the requirements Pick one stall card. Roulette movement (scroll out the dice from the bottom) and place the group of dice of their choice in the stall cards, following the requirements of the card. When a player completes a stall with the three dice following the requirements of that stall, it gives them an extra power to use immediately or in another turn, goes up a level on the scoring track and the points of the stall will be added at the end of the game. The different requirements of the stalls may be, for example, that all the dice are the same color, that one of the dice is 6...etc. The player with the higher score by completing the stalls and getting bonuses will be the winner. -description from publisher
