Neat, I really enjoyed this. I have a real fondness for dead-simple wargames that use what people have lying around (I respect those who go all in on incredibly detailed miniatures as well, but, there’s something delightful about seeing that and going ‘nah what if it was just anthropomorphised dice’). If you’ve never heard of the BrickWars project, about a wargame designed around repurposing LEGO collections, that might be up your alley.
I’m a little unclear on what the mechanical effect of training a die into a flyer is? But other than that it’s solid, creative, and well-illustrated. Nicely done. 36 words is short enough to stick in my head, next time I see a huge pile of dice I’ll have to talk someone into giving it a try with me!
Thank you for the review! Please do give it a try! The mechanical effects for flyer is being able to ignore terrain while moving. The hard 36-word limit made me want to be as clear as possible with very little wiggle room so some things were left to be implied or interpreted but I guess I could have made the drawing have a little action line to note the motion. Maybe for a 1.1 version! I will check BrickWars.
Ah, nice, that makes a ton of sense for Flying – that goes so well with the fact that you’re playing on a kitchen table, which likely has the stuff on it that kitchen tables seem to gravitationally attract. Thanks for clarifying! I’ll let you know if I ever ‘get it to the table’ :P
I'm impressed you were able to put together such a competent looking simple wargame in so few words. Actually looks like a ton of fun despite the simple set-up. I love it!

This is very cool! So elegant.
