Very creative use of die faces. I wish there was a little more strategy though, or a reason why you wouldn't just always pick the highest number. Maybe there was but I couldn't figure it out. I would have loved something like the 3 being resorts that want to be next to the river, the 1 being a remote log cabin that wants to be next to the mountain, etcetera. Love the art!

I like it! I wish I could see an indicator of how many points a move would make though.

pretty creative. Nice one

Huh! Simple, but I really dug it as a base concept. With a little more work and a few more mechanics, this could be something really special! Great job

Great Concept!
Wish that one of the faces of the dice allowed you to alter the terrain, or to destroy buildings, to have a chance to play for longer.

This is a neat game! I like the concept of dice rolls to determine what buildings you can place. It's always fun to play a city-builder in game jams too!

If I understand right, the optimal strategy is fairly simple: always pick the biggest number you can and put the bigger number in the bigger area for more multipliers. I would have enjoyed more content (more layouts etc.).

I also think the main mechanic could have been incorporated to require a bit more strategy. For example, a bigger board but with domino-like rules for placement. So you roll two dice and that gives you a domino piece and you must connect them up to match.
