Charlie loves playing games and I’ve been trying to build a collection of board games and at night when were home by ourselves we have something to do instead of watching TV.
I was excited when TMG Games said they would like a spot in the guide. The hardest part about having them join us was picking out a game or two for Charlie because they have games Charlie and I hadn’t played before.
I asked TMG for there advice and they said that Charlie would probably like Martian Dice. Once Martian Dice arrived I took the time to read the instructions to see how to play.
Once I was done reading the instructions I knew Martian Dice and Dungeon would be the perfect Gift for Charlie. The hard part will be waiting until Christmas to give Charlie this new game.
Your mission, Martians, is to swoop down on the pathetic denizens of the primitive planet Earth and scoop up as many of the inhabitants as you can manage. We are interested in samples of the Chicken, Cow, and Human populations so that we can determine which of them is actually in charge. The Earthlings might manage to put up a feeble defense, but surely nothing that a small taste of your Death Rays can’t handle. Make Mars proud – be the first Martian to fill your abduction quota!
In Martian Dice you will roll 13 custom dice in an effort to set aside (“abduct”) Humans, Chickens, and Cows. With each roll you must first set aside any Tanks, representing the human military coming to fend off your alien invasion. Then you may choose one type of die to set aside as well – one of the earthlings to abduct, or Death Rays to combat the military. At the end of your turn, if you have at least as many Death Rays as Tanks, then you may abduct the earthlings you’ve been setting aside. You can’t pick any type of Earthling twice in one turn, but if you manage to abduct at least one of each you’ll score a bonus!
With each roll you will ask yourself, do you feel lucky?
Thank you,
Glenda, Charlie, and David Cates
I’m always looking for ideas for Christmas gifts for my niece & nephews. Games are usually a sure bet, so I’ll check out TMG!
