At least of late, I have been. For some reason, I can’t get the use of dice in a board game out of my head. And when I say ‘use’, I don’t mean in a Monopoly/Risk/Settlers way. In a way they haven’t been used before. But what is a way in which dice have never been used? When you’re coming up on many thousand games listed on the Geek, I’m pretty sure there’s been more than a few permutations of dice usage, beyond rolling 2 and divising their sum.

Making their use intriguing, strategic and interesting is what I’m still working on…. but I’ve got some ideas. It’s the rest of the game that might be formulaic and boring. Ah well, you can’t win at everything.
