About the game

What you do in a play session

If you think cybersecurity is just for people in suits in dark rooms, Cyber Defence Dice is here to prove it can be much more dynamic. This game is an incredible tool for understanding how digital attacks and defenses interact, turning complex IT concepts into a strategic dice battle. Each player or team controls five six-sided dice, and the goal is essentially a game of 'who trumps whom' in the digital realm. In Match mode, you choose your side—attacker or defender—and attempt to counter the opponent's moves with a compatible defense or attack. It's like a high-tech version of 'rock, paper, scissors' that flows very quickly! For those looking for something more classic, the Combinations mode brings Poker Dice vibes, where the goal is to form sequences or pairs of icons to secure a win. If you want high-stakes tension, the Attack Matcher mode sets up a duel of attempts: the attacker rolls up to three times, and the defender must have the matching defense icons to neutralize each strike. It is a versatile game offering different layers of complexity depending on which mode you choose to play. It is perfect for anyone wanting to learn about information security without reading an entire computer networks manual, using luck and icon resolution to drive the cyber battle. Get your dice ready and see if you can protect your system or if you'll get hacked!
