Mechanics (from transcript analysis)
- Dice Assignment — assigning those dice to various characters trying to go through three progressively harder battles.
- Dice Rolling — You're going to be rolling dice, you're going to be assigning those dice to various characters trying to go through three progressively harder battles.
- Hand Management — assigning those dice to one of these characters. And what I'm trying to do is achieve whatever they're asking for so I can convert those dice into damage on these people right here.
- Push Your Luck — The rolling one die at a time is very interesting. It has a great rising tension and it has a great push your luck feel to it.
