Dice Nonogram (10×10)

How this board opens

This one opens itself. One sweep of the overlap rule — every row read against its clue lengths, then every column — is worth 74 of the 100 cells, 74% of the board, before you have deduced anything of your own. The most generous opening is row 10, which gives up 10 cells on its own. One of the 20 lines is decided outright by its clue, with no room to slide. From there the board finishes on row-and-column logic alone — there is no point where you have to try a cell both ways and see which one breaks. The finished picture fills 40 cells, and the longest unbroken run anywhere in the clues is 8.

About this category

Dice, pawns, chess pieces, playing cards — board games is a tighter, more consistent set than most of the catalog: ten of its thirteen puzzles sit right at 15×15, with only a couple of 10×15 boards and a single 10×10 on either side. That consistency is deliberate rather than a gap. Once you're comfortable with 15×15 solving here, every other puzzle in the category feels familiar rather than like starting over at a new difficulty tier each time.
