What

A dumb little react implentation of a game played with dice.

Its a semi-clone of a physical dice game based on building a gelatinous cube, but I'm sure I've also seen it elsewere as some sort of generic game to play with d6.

I make no claim to own this game, or its concept. This is entirely a programming mechanics playground.

Why

Wanted to play around with some React (outside of Gatsby) to help learn and strengthen some logical (mis)assumptions I had. Also was bored.

Much like playing "war" with a deck of cards, there is no skill involved, and a pure implentation of mechanics. I like using those as programming exercise, because you know what the endgoal is supposed to do.

Game Rules

1. Each player starts with 6 dice (d6).
2. Everyone rolls at the same time.
3. As an atomic action, everyone:
4. give your 1s to the player on your left
5. move your 3s to your cube pile.
6. give your 6s to the player on your right.
7. If one or more player completes their cube (stack of >=8) at the same time, the player with the LEAST unstacked cubes wins.
8. If at any point no one has any unstacked cubes, everyone is eaten, and everyone loses.
