About the game

What you do in a play session

Imagine a feel of a fighting video game, but with dice and cards on the table. That's exactly the vibe of Dice Throne: Season One Rerolled. In this epic clash, we have the brute force of the Barbarian facing off against the lethal precision of the Moon Elf. The goal is simple: deplete your opponent's health while managing your resources and testing your luck with the dice.

The game flow is dynamic. You roll your hero's unique set of five custom dice to activate abilities or attacks. Didn't get the combination you wanted? No problem! You can spend combat points to manipulate the results, flip die faces, or play powerful cards from your hand. These cards are the heart of the strategy: some grant permanent upgrades, others apply annoying status effects to the adversary, or allow you to manipulate your opponent's (or teammate's) dice.

On one side, the Barbarian is the definition of 'destruction.' He's not here to be elegant; he wants to smash everything in sight, leaving enemies stunned and concussed with heavy-hitting attacks. On the other side, the Moon Elf plays with subtlety and distance. Using her longbow, she fires exploding arrows that pierce through armor, leveraging her agility to remain a hard target while picking off foes from afar.

This 'Rerolled' edition brings the refinement of the first season, ensuring the experience is fluid and balanced. Whether you're a fantasy fan, someone who loves the adrenaline of 'Take That' mechanics, or someone looking for a quick and tactical duel to fill the time, this battle offers the necessary depth without being overly complex. Ready your dice, plan your hand, and try not to get knocked out first!
