Polyhedral Games

Several games centered around a set of polyhedral dice. Polyhedral Perils - press-your-luck dungeon monster fighter, Polyhedral Potions - roll & write recipe game, Polyhedral Prix - racing game.

Polyhedral Perils is a game about battling through a dungeon, fighting monsters, and bragging about your exploits to earn prestige! It's a fast press-your-luck game where the only components are the set of dice and a way to keep score! Plays 1-6 players in about 5 minutes per player (5-30 minutes).

Polyhedral Potions is a roll & write game where players draft dice as ingredients to make potions. Create Distillations, Elixirs, and Fulminates while avoiding Poisons. Plays 1-5 players in about 30 minutes.

Polyhedral Prix is a racing game where players shift gears to use higher or lower valued dice while racing around a track. Navigate the turns, use Nitro boosts, but don't go too fast or you may gain too much stress and have to enter the pits. Cross the finish line first to be the winner! Plays 2-4 players in about 30 minutes.

All three of these games are very rough and have only been tested a couple of times, so play times are just rough estimates.

(The photo shows test tubes filled with dice that my FLGS is selling. They served as the inspiration for these games and if they work out well I may sell these at the store along with the dice!)
