Ok, this game is SOOO good. I mean, just the idea of doing a board game with dice sounds so simple and obvious cause, you know, you use dice on board games. And the combat system is perfectly simple because you just heal and attack. That might sound boring, but the real strategy comes with how you upgrade. Trying out different strategies like trying to max everything out, trying to reduce randomness by closing the gap between minimum and maximum, or prioritizing one stat over the others. And I love how even though you can heal anytime during battle, you are discouraged from just healing over and over again to get to full because every time you get hit, you lose some of the money you would have gotten from beating the bad guy. This is ingenious because it incentivizes you to finish battles as quickly as possible to get a higher reward. So you might want to prioritize your attack stat. but do you increase your max as much as you can for the potential of one shotting your foes? Or do you increase your minimum to get more reliable two hit kills. Or maybe forget all of that and increase your movement stat a ton so you can zoom around the board and minimize the enemies you fight entirely. And the great part about all this strategy and planning is that it actually matters. Because it's difficult. I lost twice before finally figuring out a strategy that works and winning. This game blends randomness with strategy so perfectly! Great Job!

Needed some adjustments on the board and only RNG involved, since you can have a game where you hit only shops with no money and it could be a waste where money could've won; or always getting to fight without having touched a single shop, and that can be infuriating.

With the correct adjustments, this could be in a retro project console, such as Playdate or even on a "Gameboy-like retro board" game.

Maybe some colors would help to the graphics, but overall it's a solid basis for a good retro game!

I didn't expect this to be as fun as it was. I found myself healing a lot, especially in the end with stronger enemies. Probably because the max hp stayed at 30. Adding a max hp+ in the shop would benefit the game I believe. Surprisingly well balanced game, good job.

This game is a mixed bag. I love the idea and the aesthetic, but board games are only fun when there’s a lot of variety and when you have someone else to play with. This game has neither. I understand that 48 hours isn’t a lot, but it’s simply unenjoyable when there’s only 3 different slots you can land on and you aren’t competing against anyone (even an AI would massively improve matters).

I quite enjoyed this.  I really like how much about risk management the whole game is based around; it's very simple on the surface, but it's fun to try and figure out the optimal way to do things.  Buying movement dice didn't seem worth it since that way you fight fewer things and get less money overall.  This is a rock-solid core and could be its own game with a few more added layers of complexity and some more animations and juice.  Great stuff.

I think the issue with this game is that it kind of just feels like playing a board game by yourself. Which, I guess you are. It seems well enough made, but fighting enemies feels kinda like nothing when all you can do is press 1 of 2 buttons and the outcome is random anyway.
Stuff like this i've seen on so many of these jam games though, I think this prompt was fairly difficult as it's not easy to make random dice actually engaging. Like all the good games I've played the dice barely matter. Good attempt and thanks for making it though.

It was okay! Needs some juice here and here.  And you need to balance healing somehow. But I really liked  the monopoly style gameplay. I think it could make for an interesting endless roguelike.

Simple graphic but good design! I would just add settings for music.

Love the aesthetic and charm! I love the dice upgrade idea, but the movement suffers from the same frustrating thing that Monopoly has where you have no choice. I got like 7 fights in a row which gives you no chance to recover for example. Maybe roll 2 dice and choose one?
