Evil Phil Steinmeyer (or DiceWars)

Following a tip on Phil Steinmeyer's blog, I decided to try playing DiceWars. I was warned not to do it unless I had a few hours to waste, but I figured I could beat the odds.



I was wrong, Phil was right, my afternoon was gone...

I'm posting it here to spread the pain, and because it feels like months since I posted a game here. It's a browser based simple Risk style strategy game. Here's some instructions from Phil's blog:-

The site does not explain the rules. The basic mechanics are obvious, but one thing I did not figure out at first were the rules for generating new armies/dice. You get one extra unit for each contiguous territory you control.

So the most important strategy is to unify your empire. Five separated territories will only add one unit to your forces, but three unified territories will add three units.
And, as in Risk, try to get yourself into a defendable corner.

Enjoy, and don't hate the messenger.
