What is Skydice

In Skydice we are two architects who are going to build a big city. Each arquitect must erect skyscrapers and improve the city skyline by making them bigger, but we must also try to improve our opponent's buildings in order to claim them as our own. To determine who owns each piece, some parts of the skyscraper will have the lights turned on, while the others will be turned off.

To achieve this, arquitects must stack dice vertically and horizontally in a fashion that will resemble, at the end of the game, a beautiful skyline with lights turned on and off, like a New York City night postcard.

The goal is to score more points than the adversary. The final score will depend on the number of skyscrapers we own, their height and the value of the dice. The top dice in each skyscraper is the one which determines who owns the building.

This game is designed for 2 players (or 4 players playing with 2 teams). Each player must roll 6 dice from their supply and one action dice. The latter indicates which action to play - start a new skyscraper, improve an existent one or demolish, and from the six-dice-roll the player must use only dice with the same value. There is one restriction, though, there cannot be two skyscrapers with either the same height or the same value next to each other.
