From BoardGameGeek
Jafabit is a player elimination board-game designed for 2 or more players. It combines elements of Chess with resource gathering and dice rolling mechanics on a 3D hexagonal tile map. It gracefully balances strategy and luck. Jafabit is simple to set up and learn! Everything is color-coded and just makes sense. Maps look like maps complete with mountains and valleys. Everyone has a set of Chess-Dice they use to gather resources and dominate the map. Combining polyhedral dice and Chess pieces is what really brings Jafabit to a new level. Jafabit is modular, with countless possible game maps to play on. A typical game lasts between a half an hour and a full hour, but can go a little longer. Jafabit is designed for ages 10 and up. Jafabit is more than just a game it's a game system. There are numerous optional expansions already in the works. The first of these optional expansions is The Mists expansion and will be included in the initial release. Layering new rules and pieces on top of Jafabit can result in an infinite world of possibilities - entirely new games with a simple and fun interface to tie them all together! The base mechanics just meld so nicely and are completely open to expansion. -description from the designer
