A Fistful of Dice
In the town of Snake eyes, on the frontiers of the Wild West, disputes are settled with a different kind of duel. As sheriff, you've gotta clean up this town, one dice roll at a time.
Players each start with one die in their hand, then draw two dice per turn from their deck. You can see your opponent's hand and vice versa. You and your opponent each pick two in secret from your hand, then roll at the same time.
Some dice are run-of-the-mill, while others... well, just make sure you read the description!
Whoever wins the round deals damage to the loser equal to the difference in rolls. If your enemy's health reaches zero, you win the round and get to pick one of their rarest dice to take with you.
But if your health reaches zero, it's game over partner. Keep that hat on tight!
