GAME mechanics

  • Data Scrolling - Players use dice to determine how many spaces their virtual player will move on the board. Each player rolls a die at the start of their turn and advances according to the number they get, which may or may not influence other strategic aspects of the game, depending on the position they land in.
  • Scroll / Rotate and Move - In this mechanic, when rolling the dice, players also have the option of rotating their pawn or piece to adjust its direction before moving it around the board. This mechanism adds a strategic layer, as it allows players to decide the most advantageous direction to move after seeing the result of the roll, offering more complex decision-making mechanics during the match.
  • Movement with Different Data - During the game, different types of dice can be used (e.g. D6, D8) which allow variation in the range of movement. The choice of dice can depend on the player, events occurring in the game or special abilities, adding diversity to the type of strategy that can be adopted by players, depending on the game situation.
