Description

Comic Creator is an engine-building dice game about the difficulties of being a manga creator.

Collect skill cards to increase your dice pool or use your dice more effectively, and recruit Assistant cards for their special abilities. You want to spend dice to get Experience Points (victory points), but the more you can spend at once the more effective they are... should you spend your dice on your engine and save up for a big card or spend them now for a sure thing?

Striking a balance is tough enough without worrying about printer's deadlines!
