BE WARNED: This is highly addictive.
(All it needs now is a multiplayer mode between other human players, not just the AI.)

Erg, I need a manual.

it's pretty simple, actually. get your shit in a cluster, don't spread yourself too thin. you get more dice based on how connected your stuff is, and it's distributed somewhat randomly as far as i can tell.

I think you get one dice at the end of the turn for every territory (>2) you have at the end of the turn, so 1,2 terr=+1 die, 3t=+2d, 4t=+3d, etc. And I think they are placed starting with enemy-border territories, then working inwards.
The rest is like dethtoll said. Get into a cluster on an edge, and even better if you can bottleneck the attacks against you. You can't spread yourself too thin (getting more die doesn't matter if they can't help anywhere). But I found you have to regularly attack, too, or you'll slowly get eaten away.

The amount of dice you get is only dependent on the size of the biggest cluster.
ie you get one die for each territory in the biggest cluster.
Indeed a fun game, though I do find that the initial distribution isn't always fair. Especially considering who gets to go first and who gets to go last. I've had games where -once it was my turn- I had only one territory left with two dice on it.

Yep, that's pretty kick ass. Just read the spiel dedicated to it on Rock Paper Shotgun. Fairly unique (and uniquely silly) concept. :thumb:

Here's a couple things I didn't see mentioned:

Alpha Bounce is a breakout clone with exploration elements and upgrades. It's strangely addictive.

Shift is great.
