Madcap

Madcap is a quick game that pits two players against each other in a struggle to score more points. Players do not own anything -- neither the runners that score nor the dice that power them -- so they must always think hard about their opponent's response in order to avoid a surprise score. Despite the dice, there is no luck in the usual sense -- the dice simply set the stage and then are never rolled again.

Players use the pre-rolled dice to move the three runners up and down the track. They score points by landing one runner on another -- the higher up on the track, the higher the score. Each turn one of the twelve dice disappears, so players have just six brain-burning turns to score more points than their opponent.
