What to Expect
You play dreamers who fell into Wonderland, recruiting iconic inhabitants like the Cheshire Cat and Mad Hatter. A dice-drafting core and die icon resolution create tense choices from simple rules. Area majority and set collection drive scoring, while variable powers change each game. Many power combinations mean no two sessions play out the same.
Who Is This Game For?
Suited to gamers who enjoy dice-drafting and variable player powers; the game supports solo play. With a 75-minute runtime, it fits players who accept a medium-length game and some mechanical depth. Prior experience with drafting or set collection helps but is not mandatory.
How It Works
Players draft and roll dice, then use die icons to trigger actions (Dice Rolling, Die Icon Resolution, Dice Drafting). Variable Player Powers give each character distinct abilities, while Area Majority / Influence and Set Collection affect scoring. Track Movement and Highest-Lowest Scoring add positional and comparative incentives, and End Game Bonuses reward broader strategies. The interplay forces trade-offs between immediate effects and long-term control.
What Makes It Special
Designed by Daniel Alves, the game pairs Alice in Wonderland characters with a dice-drafting engine. The blend of Dice Rolling, Variable Player Powers and Area Majority produces high replayability. Its Novel-based category explicitly ties the theme to Alice in Wonderland.

Setting & atmosphere
