The pips show the kind of action the players are allowed to do (example: roll a 2 and a 5: using the 2 the player buys a watch tower and places it on a 5 city tile which triggers the function of the tower with additional advantages). It's also possible to influence the dice so using the dice is not completely subject to luck. There will be a beginner and a master version of the game rules.
