Overview
What ABG knows about this game
What if the power to grant life was used on the best parts of the world’s most infamous monsters? What if you knew this secret? Would you make the world a better place, or just a better place … for you? Dicenstein lets you dig up body parts, use them to build a monster, then use that monster to attack your rivals’ monsters, all the while assembling a monster army for world domination. It features heaps of dice rolling and constant decision-making to better your monster and your parts collection. You have to balance creating your monster army (which means spending body parts) with creating the best monster possible (which means hoarding monster parts). The monsters are constructed by rolling monster part dice and assembling them onto a slab in your lab. Each monster has its own unique ability - combine multiple monsters to get more abilities!
