Description (384 chars)
Cephalopod is a dice game that includes no chance. The dice comprise the playing pieces. The goal is to fill a board of various sizes with as many of your dice as possible. This is complicated by a capturing mechanic that keeps the board in constant flux. The game ends when the board has been completely filled. As with most Mark Steere games, draws and ties are not possible.
