Mechanics (from transcript analysis)
- action selection — After taking a die, players take an action associated with that wheel, such as moving up tracks, switching dice, or drawing pieces.
- Dice Drafting — Players pick cards to choose a wheel, then take the die facing them, and place it on the board. The dice have colors and numbers. The selection of dice and their placement is a core part of the gameplay.
- Resource Management — Dandia sticks and devotion points are resources that can be spent to manipulate action spaces or gain advantages.
- Set Collection — Collecting dandia sticks of different colors and placing them on the board relates to set collection for scoring.
- Simultaneous action selection — Players reveal their chosen wheel simultaneously, and actions are taken in order, making the game move quickly.
- track movement — Players move up on various tracks (dress piece track, dandia track, die track) which provide points based on the number of matching dice or sticks.
- Worker Placement — Players place dice and pieces (dress pieces, dandia sticks) on various spots on the board, affecting scoring and actions.

- it is completely like to to try and put you off if uh if you're not familiar and you're into Euro stuff it is completely dice chucking and there there is like there is Choice there is strategy and stuff into it but more than any of that there is Dice chucking there's rooll to move there's rooll to hit there's rooll to wound there's there's so much dice in this.
- and so many things crop up in these um random cards that you're drawing whether it's the gear that you find whether it's those um events that um that come up or the the enemies that you tend to find that like you can you can see it happen even in like the the few episodes that I did of that playthrough like it's partly like just the human thing of wanting to recognize patterns but it comes up with these satisfying uh stories so often based on just a big pile of Randomness it is crazy that it can do that.
- Shout out to bromstone is so good they had a big Kickstarter I think that was a couple of years ago now and it's projected for this year who knows if it will deliver.
