What it is about

This is a style of games about adventure, chance, and discovery. Rogue Deck UNO is a card and dice game play system designed to be simple, fast, and expandable. A game can be set up in 5 minutes or less, and play for 10 to 45 minutes. The materials needed to play this version of the games within include a standard UNO card deck and a set of polyhedral gaming dice (d4, d6, d8, d10, d100, d12, d20). It is best if each player has their own set of dice, but it is not a hard requirement. One to four players can engage in cooperative or competitive gameplay. This game play system has been playtested on ages 4 and up, but please use best judgment on the safety and abilities of players. This document includes four different game play types based on the core rules: One Stack will have players draw from a single deck of game cards and apply the Rogue Deck core rules. One Stack is great for players learning the Rogue Deck core mechanics or single players who want fast setup for a quick game. Two and Fro has players apply the Rogue Deck core rules while working against the tides to get to the target prize. Players can make the waves more rough for others in a competitive play. Two and Fro makes for a fun and challenging back-and-forth game play. Three Doors lets players choose their targets as they dig deeper into three card stacks while applying the Rogue Deck core rules. The Three Doors layout is great for players who want some choice to their paths, and to develop strategy to challenge their skills against others. Four-A-Round keeps the players moving around the card arrangement, spinning deeper into the decks to find the prize. Four-A-Round is a compact layout with enough space for players to move about. This playstyle is great for choice and strategy in a small footprint.
