Coral Relief

This is one of the games featured in Dice & Ink: A Roll & Write Anthology, and exists as part of that compilation. In Coral Relief, seed and grow coral, attract diverse species to your reef for bonuses and abilities, and control outbreaks of the destructive Crown-of-Thorns Starfish! This is a pattern building game with the added bonus of being able to grow your pattern! On your turn: Roll the dice for everyone to use: and decide how the dice are used in your reef: Two dice develop your reef; die results of 1-4 seed or grow coral to the next stage and results of 5-6 open up special powers. The final die determines where the crown-of-thorns starfish strikes. Seems pretty simple right? Not so fast! To attract different species with their own powers, you need to build patterns of coral. Will you be able to attract the right species for the powers you want, will you gain the rare diversity bonus, or will the crown-of-thorns starfish get the best of your reef? Coral Relief requires three standard six-sided dice in three different colors. Components include one player sheet per player, and one shared diversity sheet per game. —description from the publisher
