Box Breaking Sutakku

Sutakku is a dice stacking game that uses chance, and multiplication to be a game of critical thinking.  Watch as Matt Busts it open.  From Smirk and Dagger Games.

 

 

 

We did get to play Sutakku and it is a lot of fun.  My initial impression was this too easy to stack, but the game mechanics change that.  Check back soon for a demo and a review.
