About the game
What you do in a play session
Dice Throne: Outcasts is the latest addition to the dice combat universe that's already a fan favorite. This edition introduces four new heroes — the eerie Pale Lady, the terrifying Headless Horseman, the cunning Raveness, and the shadowy Necromancer — each with a unique dice set and abilities that completely change how you play. The game supports various formats: 1v1, 2v2, 3v3, or even free-for-all. The core mechanics are easy to grasp: roll your dice to attack, activate powers, and earn combat points to spend on cards for permanent upgrades, special effects, or even dice manipulation (yours, your teammates', or your opponents'). It's great for casual play but has depth for those who want to dive into team strategies. Language dependency is moderate — you can play with a translated reference sheet, but the English cards might take a bit longer to grasp at first.
