Rolldown
Two players face off in a competition to curate odds in their favor. Players take turns rolling and removing dice from the board or playing cards. whoever removes the last pair of dice from the board wins the round. Rolldown is a true blend of luck and strategy.

Rules:

Pieces
· Both players start with six dice: a d4, a d6, a d8, a d10, a d12, and a d20.
· One player starts with a black set and one player starts with a white set.
· The game board has two separate areas for either player to roll their dice in.
· The game uses a standard deck of playing cards, jokers included.

Starting a round
· Both players start by rolling all their dice.
· Both players draw 3 cards.
White goes first, but black may reroll one of their own dice before the start of the game, because they are going second.

During play
Players take turns back and forth and can use their turn to do one of the following:
· Reroll. On their turn a player can choose to reroll one of the dice present on the board. This die may be under their control or the opponents.
· Reduce. On their turn a player may remove one of their own dice from the board along with an enemy die that is displaying the same number or lower on its upward face. Because dice are always removed in pairs. You and your opponent should always have the same number of dice in play.
· Play a card. A player may play a card in their hand to change a dice's value to a specific number rather than rerolling it. Either player's dice may be targeted by a card.
A numbered card changes a dice's value to the number shown on the card. A numbered card cannot be played on a dice that cannot represent that value, for example you may not play a 9 on a D8
A jack turns any dice to a 1.
A queen allows you to make two consecutive reroll actions.
A king turns any dice to its max value.
An ace turns any dice into 1 or its max value.
A joker rerolls all the dice on the board.
