UPDATE 12/25/2006: Have you got a slew of old polyhedral "D+D" gaming dice (8-siders, 10-siders, 20-siders, etc.) that you don't know what to do with? Want to play a fun, simple game with them? Look no further than Hedronism!
Hedronism is a basic board game, where your dice are the actual markers used. Try and get two markers all the way to the End Space. There are strategies involved; mostly regarding how a roll will be split among your two markers, similar to what happens when you roll a "7" in the game "Sorry." In Hedronism, every roll can be split this way. But the really nifty thing about this game is the ability to use any kind of weird-shaped die at all (d14, d24... d100?). Each player can bring up to three special dice like these to the game, like marbles, and place them on any specially-marked "Star Space" on the board. If you can land on that space, you can use that die! This game was designed specially for dice collectors or for anyone who wants a really unique game that can use a variety of different-shaped dice. (by the way... the game board is a compound of five tetrahedra, created using an astounding mathematical model-making program called Stella: Polyhedron Navigator, by my friend Robert Webb!) |
