Normandy, June 6th, 1944. As you land on the welldefended beaches, a German machine gun nest is killing your comrades like flies...You must do something!

In D-Day Dice, players are Allied soldiers trying to organize improvised units for an attack against the machine gun nest. Each player starts the game with a unit of a few soldiers and nothing else. As the game progresses, he will collect resources and advance on the beach, sector by sector, as his unit grows stronger and deadlier. He will succeed... or die trying.

D-Day Dice is a multiplayer co-op game for 2-4 players, where all players play their turn simultaneously and must help each other in order to stay alive. It also includes solitaire optional rules.

Although built around dice rolling, this game is about resource management (soldiers, specialists, items and courage) and knowing when to move your unit. Resources are kept from turn to turn, so the players can plan ahead.

There's some interesting stuff going on here - I like the way the designer has actually made something interesting out of the basic "Yahtzee" mechanic especially. But it is *ridiculously* hard, unless I've misunderstood the rules. I also found it disappointingly mechanical, especially in view of the fact that it obviously tries hard to convey a theme. Still, definately worth some of your valuable time to check out, especially as a solo game.
