About the game
Get ready for a thrilling adventure in the world of art heists with Dice Heist! In this super fun game, you step into the shoes of an international thief, one of those daring individuals always eyeing the next big score. Your objective? Simple: infiltrate the world's most famous museums, like the Louvre, and make off with the most valuable artworks, jewels, and artifacts you can get your hands on. But don't think it'll be easy! Security is tight, and other thieves as cunning as you are eyeing the same loot.

Each round, you'll roll dice to try your luck, using the 'push your luck' mechanic to decide whether to keep risking for more treasures or to stop and secure what you already have. Recruiting sidekicks might be a good idea to make things easier, but going solo also has its charm and risks. The game is a race to see who can assemble the most valuable collection of stolen goods and impress their fellow criminals. Who will be the master thief who escapes with the Mona Lisa and becomes a legend? Dice Heist is fast-paced, full of adrenaline, and perfect for anyone who enjoys a dice challenge and a super engaging heist theme. With every roll, the tension mounts, and fun is guaranteed!
