About the game
ROLL for Your Life, Candyman! is a frantic, real-time dice fest of gingerbread cookie combat in which 2-4 players face off in arena-style, free-for-all battles, rolling their dice like crazy. When a player gets all four of their dice to match, they grab the plastic candy cane at the center of the table, stopping the action and claiming an opponent's limb that matches the die result. Losing all of your "puzzle-board" limbs eliminates your from the round — but fear not, it is the player at the end of three rounds who has collected the most cookie parts that wins the day! Let's get ready to CRUMBLE!!! —description from the publisher
