About the game
What you do in a play session
Get ready for an epic tactical battle in Dice Wars: Heroes of Polyhedra, a fantasy wargame that throws you right onto the battlefield with armies of dice! Yes, you read that right: your soldiers are giant polyhedral dice, each with their own unique abilities. This 2-4 player game promises infinite replayability, as each match is a unique experience. The modular board, made of hexagonal pieces that can be rotated and even flipped, ensures you'll never play on the same map twice. It's like having a new battlefield every time you sit down to play, which is awesome for those who love strategic variety!
In Dice Wars, the idea is to skillfully maneuver your randomly generated army across this ever-changing landscape, aiming to outwit and annihilate your opponents. You roll your dice to determine your units, discover on-the-fly synergies between them, and then execute powerful combos to lead your forces to victory. With hundreds of possible team compositions, varied map layouts, and bonus-granting cities to conquer, the strategic depth is impressive. And if you want even more spice, the game offers seven optional challenges, including powerful magic relics, faction bonuses, and prestige units, allowing you to customize your gameplay experience in a way that will keep you coming back for more.
