Fortune's Colony

What is Fortune's Colony

In the far off distant future, corporations vie for control of new worlds and the resources they comprise. Using five 8-sided dice printed with colorful icons, players vie to land explorers, miners, bases, and supply ships on a newly-discovered planet. Watch out, though - your opponent's dice can knock into yours, disrupting your carefully laid explorations!

You need to print and assemble the dice yourself. Paper is OK, but 110lb cardstock is better. Surprisingly, once folded and glued, the dice have a fair bit of weight to them - not enough to put someone's eye out, but enough for the game to be playable.

The commercial PDF also included a cut-n-assemble box to keep the components in once you've cut and folded. The free version does not.
