Spiel 2015 Preview: Dice City, or On the Road to Pipville

Spiel 2015 Preview: Dice City, or On the Road to Pipville
Board Game: Dice City
Dice City from Vangelis Bagiartakis, Alderac Entertainment Group, and Artipia Games was one of the few games that I played at Gen Con 2015, but it's not scheduled to be released until Spiel 2015 in October.

While players don't assemble dice during play as in Rattlebones or the LEGO games, Dice City functions something like a dice-building game as you're manipulating what the possible die results are as the game progresses, increasing your potential military power, for example, or loading up on possible production in the hope of trading it all away for points.

In the BGG booth at Gen Con 2015, Alderac's Todd Rowland gave a rundown of how to play Dice City:
