About this game

Strike reduces push-your-luck down to its purest, loudest form: one die sits in an arena, you toss another one in, and if the two match you have to fish them both back out on your turn. Keep throwing and you can knock other dice around, maybe clearing the board in your favor, maybe setting yourself up to lose your whole turn's worth of dice in one unlucky bounce. Whoever runs out of dice first is eliminated, and the tension of every single toss β€” will it match, will it fall out, will it knock someone else's die free β€” never really fades.
