Dicewars DS is a multiplayer version of a popular Flash based strategy game Dicewars for Nintendo DS handheld console. Your task is to conquer the whole game field by rolling dice. Each turn you may attack any opponent’s territory from one of your adjacent territories as long as your territory has more than one die on it. When attacking, If you roll more than the defender, you win.
At the end of each turn, the greatest number of adjoining territories you have is calculated, and you are awarded a bonus of that number of dice, which are placed randomly on your territory.
Changes:

Rise of the Triad DS is a port of “Rise of the Triad” for the Nintendo DS.
Changes:
Sound effects are now fully supported.
Music is now supported, with caveats. ROTTDS cannot (currently) play the game’s music natively; however you can extract the music files from the game, convert them to ADPCM on your PC, and place the resulting files in your /rott/ directory, and ROTTDS will play them. I’m providing a music package containing the shareware music in ADPCM format. See the README.NDS file for more info.

Game descripton from the author:
While it is just a chess game, I was getting a bit tired of the custom of just putting DS before or after everything, but if you want, just think of it as ChessDs.
The main change I’ve made to make between this and chess however, is that you don’t get checkmate to win, instead, the goal is just to take the opponent’s king.
