Cascadito

Cascadito is a charming, smaller - scale spiritual sibling of Reiner Knizia's well - known tile placement strategy game, Cascadero. Each player gets a sheet and a pencil. Roll 6 dice, and take turns picking a die to fill a space on your map. The dice show 5 colors, which stand for the 5 town types on the map. When you choose a colored die, fill a space next to a matching - colored town. By connecting towns with filled - in spaces, you'll trigger town scoring in the success book on your sheet. Plan your routes smartly, and you can set off a cascade of combos, giving you an edge in getting public achievements and private bonuses. The game ends when all public achievements are claimed or one player gets all private bonuses. Then, players add up their successes and achievements to find the winner. Cascadito keeps the challenging, combo - filled core of Cascadero, with a great interplay between the map and the success book, offering a fresh and complementary experience: You're limited to the dice on the table. Watch your opponents' plans closely when it's your turn to pick a die. It features 4 unique sheets with different maps, tracks, achievements, strategies, landmarks, and bonuses: Rural Beginnings, Raiding Bandits, The Two Rivers, and Trade and Defense. It comes in a smaller, faster - paced package, perfect as a filler game or for travel. It also includes a solo mode for each sheet with standard and advanced difficulty levels.

How to play Cascadito: First, each player gets a sheet and a pencil. Roll 6 dice at the start. Then, take turns choosing a die to fill a space on your map. The colors on the dice match the town types on the map, so when you pick a colored die, fill a space next to a town of the same color. Try to connect towns with filled - in spaces to trigger scoring in the success book on your sheet. Plan your routes carefully to create combos and get public achievements and private bonuses. When all public achievements are taken or one player has all private bonuses, the game ends. Add up your successes and achievements to see who wins. Things to note: Pay close attention to the dice on the table and your opponents' plans when it's your turn to choose a die. Each of the 4 sheets has different rules and strategies, so take time to understand them. Maintenance advice: Keep the sheets and dice in a dry place. If the sheets get dirty, you can gently wipe them with a soft, dry cloth. This will help keep your game in good condition for many plays.
