Description Edit | History

Conquer the World in just 20 Minutes!

There are 14 round Disks, each showing a whole continent with one or more colored countries and 7 dice, each with the following symbols: General, Cavalry, Artillery, one Infantry, two Infantry and three Infantry.

  • No Disk belongs to any player at the start of the game!

  • Each Disk has a number (1-4) which indicates the number of Victory points you get after you have conquered it.
  • At the beginning of his turn, a player first throws all 7 dice and THEN selects a Disk and tries to conquer the colored country/countries by attacking its front lines.
    • The number of front lines a Disk (country) has is shown by one to four rows on the disk, each with the different symbols from the dice.
    • The symbols can be mixed so e.g. infantry and cavalry can form a front line together.
    • No more than two different symbols can form a front line.
      • E.g. a Disk shows one Artillery in its 1st row, 1 Cavalry and one Infantry in its 2nd and 5 Infantry in its 3rd row, so the Disk has three Front lines!
  • You storm one front line (in no special order) by matching the symbols forming that front line.
    • If a player succeeds, he may throw the rest of the dice again to storm another front line on the disk.
    • A player can only match one front line per throw of the dice.
    • If he fails, he loses one die and throw the dice again.
    • A player only conquers a disk if he succeeds in storming ALL front lines of the disk during his turn!
  • Attacking of disks already own by other players is also possible but in this case, one additional General has to be thrown, as an additional front line.
  • A player wins if he has the most Victory points after all Disks have been conquered.
  • If a player conquers a whole continent, he does not count the VPs at the front of a disk but counts the points printed backwards (higher values). Furthermore, none of the territories in that continent can be recaptured by anybody else.

5 7 dice in color
Same as 7dice.pdf by 49xjohn (permission received) except the card points are in the proper color to make it easier to see sets. Print at 94% on pdf and cut out around the black edges and the entire game, including standard dice, fits in an Altoids tin. Makes for easy travel.
