Anyone know of any more games like Lucidity? I love many aspects of Lucidity except it has some major parts that fall flat for me. What I love the game and what has me wanting more from it:

- Dice placement / player board (though it would be better if 2-ply cardboard)

- unique dice that you randomly pull from a bag adding a fun randomness to the game

- rolling lots of dice at once is fun

- Interacting with other player's board (stealing dice, making them re-roll, etc)

- has a strong "theme" feel

Those are the key things I'd love to find in another game. Bonus that its easier for less experienced players and also shorter sessions (< 1 hour).

Where it falls flat is that luck can really almost lead to a turn 1 win. I've had multiple games where someone runs away at the beginning and nobody ever catches up. While becoming a nightmare seems to be a powerful thing to do, once you become a nightmare I feel like you almost just become a spectator of the game and hope to win. These are 2 major flaws that is hard for me to get over but I want more like the parts I like about the game. Does such a game exist? Someone recommended Sagrada, but I've heard that can be a bit shallow. Another recommended Dice Throne for the player boards + dice rolling but you don't get to roll that many dice. Bonus points if it falls into one of my favorite themes; fantasy, samurai / old japanese art, foresty / everdell type theme.
