The board game template: dice, a city and raids
A ready board game template on iDos Games - roll the dice around a ring of tiles, attack other cities, raid for bonuses, land on special tiles and build your own city. What is inside and how to make it your own game.
The board game is a ready game to start from: the player rolls the dice, moves around a ring of tiles, attacks other cities, raids for bonuses and builds up their own city. The board is drawn in 3D, and the server decides every outcome, so a roll or a reward cannot be faked from the game.
What is inside
- Dice rolls. The token moves around a ring of tiles; every tile has its own outcome.
- Tiles. Coins, an attack on the city of another player or a bot, a raid for bonuses, special tiles with a reward choice.
- Your own city. Buildings are upgraded for coins; a finished city opens the next stage, and the board never ends.
- A 3D board in Three.js with a React interface on top.
- Data instead of code. The board layout, tiles and prices are data, so the theme and economy are easy to re-skin.
The idea is filled in for you: answer a couple of questions, and your own project on this template is ready.
Systems already connected
Besides the six systems of every project, the template brings its board mechanic:
| What | What it does in the game | Where to set it up in the dashboard |
|---|---|---|
| The board game loop | Rolls, tiles, attacks, raids, building | Live Operations → v2 → GameLoops |
| Currency | Coins and rolls | Live Operations → v2 → Currency |
| Quests | Tasks for rolls, attacks and building | Live Operations → v2 → Quest |
On top of it you can easily add timed events, a leaderboard and a store - just ask the AI coder.
Step 01Create a project on the template
On the Create page describe a board game, for example: "A board game: I roll the dice around a ring of tiles, attack other cities and build up my own". The platform picks this base. More in how to make a game with AI.
Step 02Make it your own
- "Make the board space-themed: planets instead of buildings".
- "Add a tile with a mini-game".
- "Make attacks give more coins and raids give gems".
Building prices, tile rewards and the number of rolls are easier to change in the dashboard: they are settings, not code.
Step 03Tune the economy and release
Go through the sections from the table, check the balance in the test version and release the game - see publishing and links.
For developers
- The game module is
board-game(Three.js plus a React interface), built entirely onclient.gameLoop. - A roll is
boardLoopRoll; when the response asks for an action (attack, raid, special tile), the game resolves it before the next roll. Building isboardLoopBuild, independent of rolls. - Details are in the
game-loop-systemskill, served by the SDK MCP server.
Frequently asked questions
Does the game or the server roll the dice?
The server. The game asks for a roll, and the server decides which tile the player landed on and what happened there, so a roll cannot be faked.
Can I change the theme of the board?
Yes. The board layout, tiles and economy are data, so the theme and the numbers are easy to change - in words to the AI coder and in the dashboard.
