Sinoda is an abstract strategy game in which players attempt to win by taking each other’s pieces. However, it’s not the number of pieces that matters, but the point value of those pieces.

With each turn, players can move a piece OR adjust a piece’s value up or down by one. The number atop each dice indicates its movement and point value. More maneuverable pieces are worth more points to opponents if captured, so plan wisely!

The game ends when:

A player loses all their pieces OR
A player captures six opposing pieces OR
All players have only one piece left

When the game ends the player with the highest score wins!

In two-player games, you can claim victory through the special “Win by Sinoda” condition by gaining so many points your opponent can’t catch up, even if they capture all your remaining pieces. In games with three or more players, a player down to their last piece becomes pivotal, as others may protect them to prevent the leading player from ending the game for the win.
