Dice Kingdoms of Valeria

Dice Kingdoms of Valeria is a fantasy roll‑and‑write game that places players in the role of rulers of small realms. Each turn begins with the roll of six dice: two are global and affect all players, while the other four are exclusive to the active player. The dice come in colors that indicate different actions – yellow for hiring citizens and building wealth, red for hunting monsters, green for building roads, and blue for using magic. After rolling, the player decides how to use each die, recording results on a score sheet. Strategy lies in balancing kingdom expansion (citizens, gold, monsters) with collecting end‑game bonuses that may come from coins, monsters, or road points. The paper‑and‑pen mechanic keeps scoring simple and quick, while the dice roll provides randomness and tension. The game works well in both short 30‑45 minute sessions and longer play, as the pace accelerates as more dice are accumulated. With high‑quality components – colored dice, gold tokens, monster tokens, road tokens, and a robust score sheet – the tactile experience is enjoyable. The Valeria setting, with its roads, guilds, and mystical creatures, creates an adventurous atmosphere that attracts fantasy game fans. Ideal for 1 to 4 players, Dice Kingdoms of Valeria blends quick fun, tactical decisions, and a touch of luck, making it a solid pick for roll‑and‑write and dice game lovers. The game was launched via Kickstarter in 2022, with a campaign that raised over $70,000, reflecting community confidence in its innovative concept. Production includes six‑sided dice in distinct colors, gold, monster, and road tokens, and a score sheet with illustrations reminiscent of an old map. Levi Mote’s art brings a vibrant, detailed style that brings the cities and roads players build to life. The game also has a TableTop Simulator digital version, enabling online play with distant friends. Though the mechanic is simple, strategic depth emerges when players must decide whether to invest in immediate expansion or accumulate resources for end‑game bonuses. The dice roll creates tense moments, and the paper scoring keeps the game accessible and fast.
