Drop dice onto a grid so every shared edge matches, chaining pips into combos before the queue runs dry.
A queue feeds you one die at a time. Rotate it, then place it on the 5x5 grid so every edge it touches matches its neighbour's pip count, just like dominoes. Matched edges score pips, wedging a die between several neighbours scores a combo, and closing a loop earns a bonus.
Two traditions meet here, and neither is ours. The edge-matching rule is dominoes, where a tile may only be laid where its pips agree with its neighbour's. The pieces are dice.
Substituting one for the other is the whole idea. A domino carries two fixed numbers and is placed once; a die carries six and can be rotated before it lands, so every piece arrives as a choice rather than a given.
The 5×5 grid does the rest. Each die touches up to four neighbours instead of the domino's one or two, so a placement has to satisfy several edges at once — and wedging a die into a gap where every side agrees is worth considerably more than laying it at the end of a line.
