The Game of the Year Expansion
is a set of two expansions originally available to backers through
Kickstarter but which will be later released for general purchase. It
includes The Anger Expansion and the Dice Hate Me Signature Series.
The Anger Expansion:
The core VivaJava Dice game is designed with positive player interaction
and neutral conflict to provide a thoughtful and relaxing atmosphere
for a large variety of gamers. The Anger Expansion does exactly the
opposite - it's filled with a lot of sneaky moves, game-changing
abilities and "take that" mechanics. It's a total blast to play, but
it's not for the thin-skinned.
The 11 new abilities can be individually added to the WILD Coaster
from the base game to spice things up. Or players may use the included
Anger Management Disc and Anger Coaster combination to create a quick
mix of new abilities to explore.
(A set of 4 Angry Dice, originally included with this package, is needed for one of the abilities.)
The Dice Hate Me Signature Series:
The Dice Hate Me Signature Series is an elegant set of miniature games
that can be added to the base game of VivaJava Dice and is fully
compatible with the Anger Expansion. Five excellent Dice Hate Me Games
titles are represented in the mix (Brew Crafters, Compounded, Belle of
the Ball, Carnival, and The Great Heartland Hauling Co.) and each comes
with an ability disc and Coaster combination that are added to the WILD
Coaster from the base game.
While the Anger Expansion is focused on adding more player
interaction and wilder ability combinations, The Dice Hate Me Signatures
Series focuses again on expanding the game with meaningful and
alternate ways to score points and move forward toward victory. Each of
the Coasters takes thematic and mechanical cues from the represented
games, and will be nostalgic to those familiar with the other Dice Hate
Me titles.
