Statement
The Goal
Capture more dice of your opponent than you lose.
Rules
The game is played on an 8x8 grid. Each player has 8 dice to start with. Players move alternatingly.
In each turn a player chooses one of their own dice and rolls it exactly as many cells as the number on top of the die initially showed. The path is a sequence of neighboring cells (diagonals are not considered as neighbors), it's allowed to make turns within the path. It is however not allowed to visit the same cell twice.
The path may not cross any cells which are occupied by other dice. The last step can end on an opponent's die which will then be captured and is out of play.
