Iconic dice (showing modern warfare units and tactics) and a straightforward paper-rock-scissors mechanic. Dicewargame is for military enthusiasts who want to give their brains a rest from hardcore strategy. The object is to either capture cities (best accomplished with infantry)or destroy your opponent's army. Surrender is also an option and a valid one given that you can set-up and start another game in under a minute. Each turn a player either attacks, re-rolls or withdraws. This provides a variety of tactical options. Once you get to grips with 'who-does-what-to-who', play tends to be quite fast. It is best played as 'best of five' or in a match of games and sets.
