I just picked up this game on the sale on catalog and I literally do not understand this game at all...when you press b on a sword dice itll show this shape of like 6 dice in a shape with different numbers? wtf does that even mean....i just hit rewards and itll be like machete and show all these different swords and symbols and numbers and stars and it makes no sense. Also the special abilities on dice that say like 'double the effect' .....double the effect of what?? It seems cool, but this is one of the most confusing games.

Hey I'm sorry you are finding the game confusing, I would recommend looking at the tips section in the main menu for extra help but I can try to explain some basic things here. When you press b it brings up the dice info which shows the dices pattern. It is basically the dice unfolded so it is not extra dice, but instead it is showing you what is on each of the sides. The stars are just how rare the dice is. The effect is just what the dice does when you use it. So in this diagram the sword means it will attack, and the number shows for, so if the ability doubles it, it will now attack for 8 damage. Basically all of these abilities will also automatically calculate and just show you how much they so don't worry too much about math, the effect amount will update to show the correct amount. If the dice has a shield on it then that dice will give you shield instead. All the descriptions for any icon in the game can be found in the manual if you press the menu button. Also if you are looking at the dice rewards if you press the menu button it will quickly show what each of the abilities/status effects that dice have are, and what they do. Let me know if you have any other questions, and if you are in the playdate discord there's a thread there that's a great place for extra questions and help!

Ok the whole 'its the dice unfolded' is super helpful. I did not get that at all. I thought it was a bunch of dice in a pattern. Thanks for that.
