In Claim It!, players roll dice to claim land patches in gold-filled hills. You can keep rolling to claim more areas or stop to secure your gains, risking losing everything with a wrong roll. Stealing claims from opponents and building the largest connected mine adds strategic tension. Dice Rolling, Push Your Luck, and Area Majority mechanics create an engaging, luck-driven experience.
Who Is This Game For?
Claim It! is suitable for families and casual players aged 8 and up who enjoy quick dice games. With a playtime around 40 minutes and simple rules, it requires little prior experience but offers tactical risk-taking for those who like a blend of luck and strategy.
How It Works
Players roll three dice to claim spaces on the board. You may continue rolling to expand your claims (Push Your Luck) or stop to secure them. If you roll an unusable combination, you lose all claims made that turn. The goal is to have the largest connected group of claimed spaces (Area Majority) by game end.
What Makes It Special
Designed by Kris Gould, Claim It! combines Dice Rolling, Push Your Luck, and Area Majority mechanics in a thematic Western mining setting. Although it has no major awards, its unique mechanic blend appeals to fans of risk-based dice games seeking a quick, thematic experience.
