Chicago

Chicago 1.1.1 is a Mac OS X shareware dice game by Michael Heberle of Mihesoft (michael.heberle@mihesoft.de). The author's release note describes it succinctly: "It's a dice game. You have to reach maximum points by rolling special combinations. It also includes some special statistic."

Gameplay

Players roll dice and aim to maximize their score by forming special combinations. The exact category list is not enumerated in the release note, but the game follows the familiar pattern of category-based scoring common to the dice-game genre.

Statistics

The release note specifically calls out that Chicago "includes some special statistic" tracking, distinguishing it from a plain pickup-and-play roller by giving long-running players data on their performance.

Shareware Terms
