This game emulates an escalating war. Dedication ultimately decides the victor, not luck.
Those who dare, win.

RULES:
------------------------------------------------------------
Have real stakes, like cash. Commitment is vital.
Every DICECON level, each competing player/team follows the instructions, and proceeds.
">ROLL" = roll all dice and tally your total.
Dice may have any number of sides, but values cannot exceed them.
(d100 = valid. d4 with a 5 =/= valid)
All dice MUST be rolled simultaneously and land flat. Equipment allowed to assist rolling.
Move each dice from field after it's tallied.
Any properly-labeled *fair* object can = dice. No coins/electronics.
Dice untallied after 24h become forfeit.
Highest score wins.
