Dice Placement

Dice Placement Games:
• The Mechanism: A hybrid system that treats rolled dice exactly like physical workers in a worker placement game.
• Gameplay: At the beginning of a round, you roll your personal pool of dice. The resulting numbers act as your available “workers.” The central board features action slots that require specific numbers (e.g., “Must place a 5 or 6 to sail the ship” or “The player with the highest number gets the biggest reward”). This transforms raw dice luck into a tactical optimization puzzle.
• Example Board Games: The Castles of Burgundy, Troyes, Alien Frontiers, Grand Austria Hotel, Coimbra
