About the game

What you do in a play session

Check out this super versatile game! "Dice Cards" is the kind that appeals to both board game newbies and seasoned veterans. The premise is simple: roll two dice and choose one number to record each turn. Sounds easy, right? But that's the tricky part, because you can only record ONE number! The goal is to rack up the highest score, and to do that, you'll need to be smart about where you jot down that number on one of the six different cards you're playing with each game. What's really cool is that the game comes with over 50 unique cards, each with its own scoring mini-game. Talk about replayability! Want more? "Dice Cards" also shines in large group play, with point-based victory options that keep everyone in the running. It's a super flexible roll & write, perfect for those who enjoy quick gameplay packed with clever decisions. The Print & Play adaptation also makes it accessible to everyone – just print and play!
