Vibe's take

Quick and puzzly, with a nice mathematical squeeze; every number you write locks in a little arithmetic bet, and completing adjacent blocks for bonus bridges adds a satisfying extra layer to chase.

About this game

Colour Square is a roll-and-write puzzle where five colored dice decide what numbers land on your scoring sheet. On your turn, you pick two non-white dice to write into matching-colored blocks, while everyone else fills in the white die's value, and hitting a block's exact target sum, rather than overshooting it, is what actually pays off.
