Mechanics (from transcript analysis)
- Dice Drafting — on a turn, dice are rolled and then can be allocated to your grid or added to aggregates; the action die passes to the other player
- Dice pool drafting — on a turn, dice are rolled and then can be allocated to your grid or added to aggregates; the action die passes to the other player
- even-number starting dice — start by rolling and keeping only the even-numbered rolls to determine starting dice in the pool
- Grid Building — numbers placed on the grid must be placed from bottom up; if placing on top of another number, the new number must be equal or greater than the numbers beneath
- grid building from bottom to top — numbers placed on the grid must be placed from bottom up; if placing on top of another number, the new number must be equal or greater than the numbers beneath
- map variety and expansion rules — there are 12 different maps, including base maps like the Eiffel Tower and various expansion maps with unique rules
- plus/minus modifiers based on pool composition — if all five dice are in the pool, the result is always minus; if only one die is in the pool, it is always plus; if no one writes numbers, it is always plus
- sum or place numbers — you can fill in as many numbers as you want, or add numbers together to fill aggregates
- swap mechanic — a player can swap out a die from the pool for a spare die
