I am a huge Dice throne fan! Backing the rerolled edition has been a great decision and my wife and spent a ton of nights playing this game.

While playing the game I started thinking about how each session could be different. I wanted the heroes you choose to be different every time. After thinking about it I settled on having a simple starter hero with 3 skills out of which you could only use 2 from the start while the last, and most powerful, one would be available to you after you upgrade your hero.

To call Mosquito bite, Tsunami, or Call spirit you roll 5 dice and try to match the symbols next to the skill. You can also, upgrade your hero with additional skills by rolling all symbols that are displayed on sides of the skill and hero card where you want to place the skill.

To place the Tornade skill, for example, at the top right position, you would have to roll [o, oo, oo] since those symbols would be on the adjacent edges at the top right position. To place the same skill in the top left position, you would have to roll [o, oo, ooo]. Certain positions are harder to roll since you would need more symbols to match so players have to be strategic about where to place each skill.

Some heroes have pets or other additional support available to them while others rely on dice manipulation and timing to deal the most damage.

We played it a few times and it was quite fun. There are still some tweaks needed but in general I think this could be something really nice to play quickly with friends in a variety of different settings like 1v1, 2v2, king of the hill, tournament style matches etc.

I’ll try to introduce all heroes (I have moved away from the stereotypical archetypes to make it more fun) over time while I finalize gameplay for each of the heroes.

Until the next update,
Keep playing games
