Gameplay and Rules

Each player has 4 Dots and 4 Rings. When a Dot and a Ring combine, they create a Royal. Moving 3 Royals into the Royal Court in the center wins the game.

On each turn, choose one of the 3 dice and move one of your pieces that many spaces. You may use a second die to move another piece (or the same piece again). Reroll any used dice and it's opponent's turn. If you cannot move at all, reroll all 3 dice and pass your turn.

Details:

Royals tasks you to combine your forces to create Royals and take over the Court at the center of the board.

Roll & Move: Use one or two dice to move, and leave the rest of the roll to the other player.

Multiple Game Phases: Early game has you gathering your pieces to make Royals, then use those Royals to control the center.

Attack with Royals: Once you have Royals, you can shove other pieces out of the way, and out of the Court.

Shared Dice: Dice that you don't use get passed to the other player. Do you use a die and reroll it, or leave it?

Defensive Aggression: Evenly-matched endgames evolve into a defensive shoving match in an attempt to control the Court.

Player vs Player Competition: Pure 2 player combat allows you to focus on a single opponent.

High Table Presence, Small Footprint: Gameplay is contained in the 10x10 gameboard.
