Frequently Asked Questions
Quick answers before you buy
How many players can participate?
This specific game (Cursed Pirate v. Artificer) is designed for 2 players. The Dice Throne series as a whole supports more players, but you'll need other hero packs for that.
How long does a game take?
Games are quite fast, typically lasting between 20 to 40 minutes, depending on your familiarity with the heroes and dice luck!
Are the rules difficult to learn?
The basic rules are very accessible. The game focuses on rolling dice and using cards, but mastering each hero's strategy takes a few games.
Do I need prior knowledge of other Dice Throne games?
No! This is a standalone game, and you can start playing directly with these two heroes. Other seasons and heroes are expansions or games that can be combined.
Is the game too random because of the dice?
There's an element of luck with the dice, of course, but the strategy in card choices and using hero abilities is what truly decides the game. It's a good balance!
Do I need to understand English to play?
Yes, the cards have text, and it's recommended to have a translated reference sheet or translated cards, as the language dependency is moderate.
