I thought the components were neat, but there could be a better game in ther somewhere. I'll see what I can come up with. I played Treehouse at Gen Con this year.

I think the official rules for Treehouse have provisions for playing with a regular pipped/numbered d6, with a lookup table for the effects for each side, so I'd say anything you can do with a single d6 is good.

Therefore, your design entry can include a custom d6, ideally printed with just words. I'd say it's kosher to include any kind of face, though: think Descent or Dragon Dice or non-word shapes or icons. Any objections?
