How many games have you played with a dice? Probably just about every boardgame you ever played. That little misshapen lump of plastic that rolls across the table is just a way to randomise an outcome. You probably never thought that a dice could be an interesting part of a game.

Well not so! Tactico manages to take the humble dice and refashion it into something that not only suits the topic of the game but adds a new twist to the art of dice throwing.

The unique football shaped die (the technical term for which is a truncated-icosahedron) has different sized faces. Some are hexagons, some are pentagons. The hexagons being smaller are harder to land on. The path of the dice as it rolls is very unpredictable, curving round and falling back on itself just like a dribbling football.

The question everyone asks is - "Is there a technique to throwing it?"

Well you'll have to find out for yourself - How Tactico are you?
