Dice Of Knights

⠀

Dice of Knights is an online web-browser/itch.io based boardgame for 4 players. The objective, as far I can tell, is to roll dice in turn to move knights around a 7x7 not-chess board, and have combat (also resolved by simple dice throws). There's also little castle things (not to be confused with rooks), but it's unclear what they do. The game features no integrated instruction or tutorial, or any guidance whatsoever on how to actually play the game... an epic failure, for sure. While this ostensibly may resemble chess, it's got nothing to do with it. The technical implementation here is spartan. Resolution is locked and can't be changed, although there is full screen mode. The controls may or may not be customisable... in the same way there's no tutorial, there's no proper, intuitive game menu either, so it's unclear what can and can't be done, and whatever can be done requires extensive guesswork. The game is PvP exlusive and, again, as far as I can tell due to the obscure interface, there's no bots or single player mode. The web-browser app nature of this game, lacklustre interface, lack of single player/vs AI modes all point towards this being unrecommendable for an…
