Inspired by a popular dice game called Yahtzee. - Five dice are rolled three times, keep the best score. On this basis. Add some deck building Add some random variables (Rogue-lite) Add some unique heroes Add some different game mechanics And...Here it comes! The Dice Master! THE RULE IS SIMPLE Light up the elements of a card required to play, bingo! If you can't light the card, the card will be unusable = useless! So Be sure to build your deck reasonably well with your "brilliant strategic"!
RuneGrid
Read full descriptionHide full description
RuneGrid is an offline tactical board game built around quick decisions, chip placement, and boss battles. Each run starts with a simple loop: spin three symbol chips, choose one, place it on the 5x5 board, and trigger its skill. Attack the boss, break armor, block incoming strikes, collect Coins, clear corrupted cells, and survive before your Energy runs out or Threat reaches its limit. Every chip has a clear role. Move Chips deal steady damage, Hack Chips break armor, Shield Chips protect your run, Coin Chips boost rewards, Relic Chips charge powerful effects, Glitch Chips offer risky burst damage, and Wild Core Chips adapt to nearby pieces. Progress continues between battles. Upgrade chip skill lines in the Lab, collect relics, unlock new bosses, complete contracts, and push through different stage rules. Each boss changes the way you play, encouraging new builds and smarter board choices. Features: • Fast offline tactical battles • 5x5 chip placement board • Unique bosses with different abilities • Seven upgradeable chip types • Relic collection and mastery progress • Daily contracts and long-term achievements • Arcade modes for extra replay value • No ads, no real-money rewards, no account required
