About the game

What you do in a play session

Get ready for an epic showdown in Dice Throne, the fast-paced combat game that will test your reflexes and your luck! Here, you choose a hero with unique abilities and go head-to-head against opponents. Each match is a new chance to shine, whether in 1v1 duels, team battles, or even a frantic free-for-all.

The mechanics are straightforward yet packed with strategy: roll your five custom dice, combine the icons that appear to activate powerful attacks, special abilities, or even permanently upgrade your hero. Spent your Combat Points on cards? They can turn the tide of the game, changing the combat state, manipulating dice (yours, your teammate's, or even your opponent's!), or providing a general boost.

The coolest part is that each hero plays completely differently, ensuring replayability and that feeling of mastering a specific character. With multiple seasons, themed expansions (including Marvel!), and even cooperative modes like Dice Throne Adventures, the fun never ends. Whether you're a veteran seeking the perfect combat or a newcomer wanting to try a dice game with personality, Dice Throne has something for everyone. Different releases, like Battle Chests and Battle Boxes, offer varied hero packs to start or expand your collection.
