Gelatinous Cube Dice

Gelatinous Cube Dice

2017·Mike Heiman

1 players
15 - 60 min
Medium weight: Teach it in one sitting

From BoardGameGeek

Gelatinous Cube Dice placed First in the Most Innovative Mechanic category of the 2016 Mint Tin Game Design Contest, as well as placing in the top 10 of all other categories. An action point dungeon-crawl puzzler where you assume the form of a gelatinous cube. The six-sided die represents your playing piece. As you move around the board, you flip to adjacent die-facings when moving to adjacent spaces. You will explore 30 dungeon rooms and must land on a space with the six on the die faceup in order to unlock the next room. Each level increases the difficulty, but also offers new powers as you become more gelatinous. Solo, low-ink, black and white, puzzle game. 6 pages --easy to assemble. “…Iximl zephracoxia dissimilarity!” you chant raising your wand into the air. You can feel yourself changing; the polymorph spell worked. The doubt after mumbling through some of the more difficult words leaves you as feel the mystical metamorphosis take effect. Those adepts back at the tower won't laugh at you anymore. Now that you've finally mastered the spell you'll be able to enter the foreboding dungeon known as The Miasma Helilx, negate the protection glyphs, extinguish all of the darkfire candles, and finally destroy the Miasma Boilers at the bottom of the dun… wait a second… Your arms begin to turn green and translucent, and before you can think about it any further the transformation is complete. You are a gelatinous cube. You cannot see or hear anything, just taste and feel. Your mind is being assailed by the gibbering language of this ooze. You must stay sharp, you must focus, you must complete your quest before the brainless blob consumes you entirely.
