Proteus
A dice game that plays a little like chess and a lot like nothing you’ve ever seen before!
Played on a standard chessboard, each side gets eight unique, custom dice, with a different piece on each face. You start with eight pawns, and each turn you get to change one of your dice to a more powerful piece. But as your pieces get more powerful, they become worth more points to your opponent!
The game is easy to learn, but mastering the intricate strategies will prove much harder.
Key features:

• Proteus features custom dice with a unique piece on each face, allowing players to strategically change the value and role of their pieces each turn.
• Chessboard Gameplay with a Twist: Played on a standard chessboard, Proteus combines chess-like moves with dice manipulation, giving it a familiar yet fresh strategic feel.
• Players start with eight “pawn” dice that can be upgraded each turn, introducing complex decision-making as more powerful pieces become worth more points if captured.
• Capturing opponent pieces alone won’t secure a win; players must capture high-value dice to maximize points and claim victory.
• With simple rules but deep strategic layers, Proteus offers a unique and challenging experience that evolves with each match.
