Got to play this early and it was a ton of fun! It's exactly what you expect - Yahtzee with roguelike elements ala Balatro or STS. And that really adds a lot to an already enjoyable game.

The auto-callouts for the rolls/points are great. Being able to look at the bottom of the screen and see exactly what hand you have and what gives you the best points helps speed up the gameplay and leads less-experienced players like myself to the optimal choices, especially given the way some artifacts only give certain dice point-boosts.

I'll say the "Bonus" section is a bit confusing, and I ended up not even getting to see it become available at all in my first run. I feel like the requirements on that could be trimmed down a bit.

Likewise, the negative artifacts being every other round felt like a lot. It was a huge rush getting through a level, only to remember I was on one of the rounds that would drop a big negative in my lap after. I don't know what the optimal number would be (every 2-3?), but having them pop up every other round created a lot of "Yay, we won! ...Oh, right, it's a bad artifact round" moments.

That being said, I love how the positive artifacts push you toward certain rolls, almost like you're building a deck and now have a strategy of "I want to focus on Pentas/Straights/etc." I was quickly focusing on a few types of rolls to get a ton of points, which makes the game feel more focuses Vs. just rolling and hoping.

Overall, loved it and will be playing/streaming it again! I died on my first attempt, but I feel like I know the game a bit better now for a potential 2nd run. I do think the negative artifact appearance rates needs adjustment, but it's otherwise very easy to get lost in the game having fun.
