About the game

What you do in a play session

Attention gamers! The realms are rising from the ashes of the Great Plague, trade is resuming, universities are being founded, and merchant houses are flourishing. In Dice Realms: Trade Expansion, you are called to rebuild and expand your realm, but with a twist: fate is always lurking! This expansion introduces a new die type, nine fresh faces for existing dice, and five new lines of faces that broaden your strategic options. Get ready to deal with eight events that shake up the fate die, simulating the unpredictability of the late medieval world.

But don't worry, you're not alone in this endeavor! The expansion introduces new options for cooperative play and solo gaming, allowing you to face the challenges with friends or on your own. Additionally, the game offers suggested setups to ease your entry into this new chapter of Dice Realms. If you enjoy the idea of building your kingdom, managing resources, and dealing with the luck (or misfortune!) of the dice, this expansion promises to add new layers of fun and strategy. It's time to see who can build the most prosperous realm, even with fate's twists and turns!
