Overview

Roll and place dice, either yours or your opponents, to create either a line of 5 of a kind or a run of 5


Turn

First, choose two dice, these can be yours from Home or from Sea or your opponent's from Sea but only if the value matches the Zeus dice. You can combine these choices in any order, as long as you pick two dice e.g. you can have one of yours and one of your opponents

Roll the selected dice

Each one can either be placed on an empty space, or an occupied space of a dice which shares its value

If you place it in an occupied same value space, the displaced dice is then yours to place again under the same conditions but without changing its value i.e. either into a vacant space or into an occupied space of the same value, which would then again give you another displaced dice to do with as you wish until the cycle is broken by placing a displaced dice in a vacant space

If you rolled doubles at the start of your turn, you gain a bonus abnormal turn known as an Aegis turn

If the doubles match the Zeus dice, you can select any two dice in the Sea to roll for this Aegis turn (including Zeus's dice itself)

If the doubles do NOT match the Zeus dice, you can either select two of your dice to roll OR move two opponent dice from the Sea to their Home


Game End

The game ends in an immediate win in the following situations:

There are 5 dice in a row (Orthogonal or Diagonal) with the same value

There are 5 dice in a row (Orthogonal or Diagonal) with consecutive values

The player who placed the dice to meet either of these conditions, wins!
