Using your Superpower: You may use your
superpower three times throughout a game. The
January
Joe Hout - Beluga Bliss Games
Overview: You are a Superhero trying to save the city!
Travel to different locations, rescue citizens, defeat
minions, and save the day! But this time… it is an epic
Saga event played over an entire year!
Players: 1 – 100. Game Time: 20 minutes.
Items needed: 4 six-sided dice and
your favorite token, miniature, or pawn
to represent your superhero (or follow
QR code to 3d print this month’s hero!)
The game is played over 12 rounds
simultaneously, with players trying to earn the most
points (honor). All players will use the same dice pool for
each roll, assigning however each player determines.
Setup: Place your token on The Dice Knight square.
Gameplay: Each Round you will Roll 4 dice and then
spend those 4 dice to either Help at your current location
or Move to another location.
- Roll 4 dice - Roll the 4 dice. Write the numbers in the
top right corner on the current round’s track. This is just
used as a helpful reference.
- Spend dice to either “Move” or “Help” - each die
can be used to either move your superhero or help
people in your current location (by marking an X or a
number).
Move - There are two ways to move. Move your
superhero token to the location that matches the
die, or use a die that matches your superhero’s
current location to move your superhero token to
any location.
Help- Use a die to help in your current location,
marking an X or writing a number (depending on
the location).
Repeat this until 12 rounds have been completed.
three blank squares to the right of your superhero
are there to show how many superpower uses you
have remaining. You may use your superpower at
any time, even multiple times in a round. For each
use, mark an X in the square.
In this mission, The Dice Knight has the superpower to
increase or decrease a die by 1. (Example: Change a 4
to either a 3 or a 5. 1’s may only be increased and 6’s
may only be decreased)
Using Help and Move Bonuses: When you unlock
a Help or Move Bonus, circle it in the bottom left
section to show it has been gained. You may at
any time spend this bonus. A Help bonus gives
you an additional die that is any number to be
used to Help at your current location. A Move
bonus gives an additional die that is any number
to be used to Move to any location.
When you use a bonus, mark an X over it to show you
have spent it. You can spend multiple bonuses in a
round, and you can use bonuses immediately after
gaining them.
Rescuing Bystanders:
When a Bystander rescue requirements are met, you
circle the corresponding Bystander in the bottom scoring
section. At the end of the game, each rescued Bystander
earns you 4 Honor.
If you rescue all three Animal Bystanders, you
gain the Animal Hero bonus, which gives you 5
additional Honor.
If you complete the column with the 4’s in the City
Hall area, you gain the Key to the City. The Key
to the City gives all your rescued Bystanders +1
Honor (so instead of 4 honor each, they are 5
honor each).
Defeating Robot Minions and the Robot Villain:
Each location has a Robot that is menacing
the location. You may spend a die to add the
corresponding number to that Robot. The next
number added to the Robot has to be the
same number as the previous. Robot Minions require
only 2 dice to defeat, whereas the Robot Villain (in the
Junkyard) requires 4 dice to defeat.
When defeated, mark an X over a Robot Minion in the
scoring section at the bottom. At the end of the game,
each defeated Robot earns you 4 Honor.

If you defeat the Robot Villain, you also gain the
x2 Robot Multiplier. This makes it so Robots are
now worth double the points (from 4 Honor each
to 8 honor each!)
Each Location Explained:
1 - City Hall - Mark an X for matching die (1, 2, 3, or 4) in
any order. Earn 8 Honor for each row completed. Earn
the corresponding bonus/bystander/key to the city for
each column completed.
2 - Restaurant – Mark an X over the matching die. Gain
the corresponding Honor or Honor and Bonus when a
pair is completed. You can start a new pair before
completing others. You do not have to go in any order. If
you complete a set in the same column, gain the
corresponding Bystander.
3 - Park – There is a mysterious meteor that landed in
the park. There are two different tracks to advance in
this location. The top one goes from left to right, and you
have to X the exact number in order. Gain the Alien
Technology when the last number (6) is X’d.
Alien Technology is worth 10 honor, it is also
mysterious. The bottom track alternated
between an Odd number and an Even number. The first
number must be an Odd number (1, 3, or 5), and the
next number must be an Even number (2, 4, or 6), and is
then repeated.
4 - School – MATH! You are adding two numbers
together that will equal 7. Start anywhere and continue
anywhere. Once a 7 is completed, gain the
corresponding honor or honor and bonus. If you
complete a set in the same column, gain the
corresponding Bystander.
5 - Library -Start at the bottom of any one of the three
columns. You can start with any number. The next
number must be exactly one number higher or lower
than the previous number. You can start another column
without having completed a column. When a column is
completed, gain the corresponding honor and bonuses
or honor and bystander.
6 - Junkyard - Start on the bottom row. You may mark an
X on any matching die on the bottom row. In order to X a
die in the next row, the two dice below it must have been
previously X’d. When you complete an entire row, gain
the corresponding honor/bonus. When you X the 2
number with the Bystander, gain that Bystander.
End of Game:
After you have completed the 12th roll/round, total your
Honor/points earned from each location, rescued
bystanders (4 honor per), defeated robots (4 honor per),
gaining additional honor if you gained the Key to the City
and/or the Robot x2 Multiplier. Also, gain 1 honor for
each gained but not used Help and Move bonus. Gain
10 honor for the Alien Technology and 5 Honor if you
rescued all three Animal Bystanders (Animal Hero). The
player with the most Honor is the winner!

STORY – Introduction (read before starting game)
Night falls on the city. But this night is no ordinary night.
There is a buzz, some kind of whir, that is stirring
throughout the night. Out from the shadows these
sounds grow and become beeps, boops, and the sound
of metal moving. The screams of innocent bystanders fill
the streets of the city. Robots are attacking! The dice
spotlight flies through the sky, a beacon of hope that the
hero will come to help. High atop a building, looking over
the city, stands that very hero, the city’s only hope. The
hero furrows his brow behind his mask, curls his lip and
tightens his jaw, clenches his fists to prepare for battle,
and says in the highest pitched voice you can possibly
imagine, “My city is under attack. I am the night that
protects this city. I am the one in the shadows that keeps
it safe. I am… The Dice Knight.”
Conclusion (read after finishing game)
The Dice Knight stomps on the final robot and sparks
and pieces of metal fly from beneath his foot. He exhales
deeply, tired from the intense battle. He says to himself,
“I’m getting too old for this. I could use some help next
time, maybe a sidekick or even a team. But tonight, this
city, my city, is safe again.” With bystanders celebrating
and animals jumping up and down with joy, The Dice
Knight disappears into the shadows and darkness. Until
next time…
