About this game
The Dice Charmers takes the beloved worker placement of Rajas of the Ganges and pours it into eight symbol dice, so every turn becomes a quick puzzle of what your roll actually lets you do. You develop your province, gather goods for the market and court the palace's most useful personalities, all while racing fame and money along two tracks that run in opposite directions. Whoever gets those two markers to meet first wins, so every roll nudges you to ask which track needs love right now. Lighter and faster than the original, but the same satisfying tension between wealth and reputation.
