Pip•Pip

Pip•Pip is a strategic board game of conversion and compromise. It is inspired in equal parts by Sudoku and Triple Triad.

There are two players, both with a handful of six-sided dice.

On each player's turn, he rolls a die and place it on a space within a 4×4 grid.

When players place a die in a space horizontally or vertically adjacent to an opponent’s die, they check the numbers on the two dice that are facing each other. If the number on the current player's die is greater, the opponent’s die is converted to the current player's color.

Players continue placing dice and converting die colors until all the spaces in the 4×4 area are filled. Once this occurs, the game is over and the players tally their scores.

The game usually comes down to the wire, with the winner achieving victory by the skin of his teeth.
