Description from the publisher:

The new version of D-Day Dice, published by Word Forge Games, sees new art, missions, tiles and dice. It is fully compatible with the previous version, but adds new mechanics and play concepts to the highly successful D-Day Dice franchise.

Normandy, June 6th, 1944 – as you land on the well-defended beaches, a German machine gun nest is killing your comrades like flies. You must do something!

In D-Day Dice, players are Allied soldiers trying to organize improvised units for an attack against the machine gun nest. Each player starts the game with a unit of a few soldiers and nothing else. As the game progresses, he will collect resources and advance on the beach, sector by sector, as his unit grows stronger and deadlier. He will succeed...or die trying.

D-Day Dice is a multiplayer co-op game, where all players play their turn simultaneously and must help each other in order to stay alive. It also includes solitaire optional rules. Although built around dice rolling, this game is about resource management (soldiers, specialists, items and courage) and knowing when to move your unit. Resources are kept from turn to turn, so the players can plan ahead.

Good but one of those games thats 1/3 full

I would say that as a solo game (the reason that I purchased this game) its a solid 4/5, The game comes with 12 scenarios, each with their own challenges. As you progress this become more and more tricky in a way that is very gentle, introducing one or two little rules as you progress, never leaving you frazzled. Luck has a moderate part in this game but there are plenty of ways to manipulate you dice, so that you never feel like you are completely at their mercy. The game offers interesting choices as you are going to constantly decide what you need now and what you will need later.
However when you open the box you realize that even though they put it into a ticket to ride box, the game actually only needed a pandemic box (with plenty of room to spare) therefore I had to deduct a star from my rating. Unfortunately the price of the game does not represent what you will receive in my opinion, You get something that resembles flatline in terms of components, so if this game would have had a $40 price tag I would have been happy and gladly given 4.
So bottom line, if you are looking for something light with some good decisions and choices to make, go for it. Just know what you are not quite getting what the price tag suggests.
