That is a really neat mechanic to build the "map" and establish the available resources on it, is that something you've seen elsewhere or was that original to this contest? Well done.
Thank you! It was original; the theme made me think of games like Galactic Civilizations II, and I wanted to replicate those random maps. I experimented with other things like playing cards, but dice turned out to be the simplest way to achieve that goal, given the word count.
