About the game
What you do in a play session
Ever felt like a real estate tycoon, but with a dash of chaos? Well, welcome to Dice Manor! You're stepping into the shoes of an elite designer hired by Mundane Manors Inc., a corporation that's bored with cookie-cutter suburban homes and is ready to go big. Your mission: design, build, and—most importantly—market the most lavish and jaw-dropping mansion ever imagined.
The action unfolds over four intense rounds. You'll be using your dice to bid on blueprints in auctions, snagging prime advertising spots, and gathering inspiration tokens to ensure your designs are top-notch. You'll even need to host early tours to build up the hype. It all leads to the grand finale: The Grand Opening! This is where prestige is won, and the designer who garners the most community praise takes the crown. If you're looking for a mid-weight game with plenty of interaction and where every die roll can shape your real estate empire, get your blueprints ready—the race for prestige is on!
