What is Darwin's Dice

Description from the publisher:

Darwin’s Dice is a simple, fast-paced trump card game, where two dice set the conditions of every turn. You’ll need both a tactical approach as well as a fair amount of luck. Two to four players meet in this game for a struggle of sheer survival. Only the player who’s best prepared and whose cards match the conditions can obtain the opponents’ cards and collect points.

Before each turn a player – the Darwin – rolls the dice. The combination of number (1 to 8) and colour (blue, green and yellow) determine which card becomes the trump during this turn. Additionally, one die (with + and -) specifies if high or low numbers have an advantage.

Each player then plays a card upside down and then flip them over simultaneously. The player of the strongest card wins, becomes the new Darwin and rolls the dice for the next turn.
