A Lone Banner

A Lone Banner is the 15th game in the Small Box Games' Pure Card Line. It's also the first game to offer additional components in addition to cards: dice. A Lone Banner pits each player in a dice driven, press your luck game of global conquest, with each player striving to control the greatest portion of the globe. Each player receives three dice in his color, and at the beginning of each round, rolls those three dice, which he may place on any of the available 30 region cards. The results of these dice determine the player's army strength, but players may reroll to attempt to get special abilities, but run the risk of losing superiority in a region. The many regions also offer invasion points, allowing the player who holds them the ability to steal regions from other players. A Lone Banner is for 3-4 players, and plays in around 30 minutes.
