About the game

What you do in a play session

Dicevania: Quintet of Rolls is a double‑sided print‑and‑play roll‑and‑write game that shines for quick solo play. On Side A you guide a hero through a castle using five six‑sided dice. Each roll tries to hit the required combination to clear a room, earn points, heal HP and pick up items that tweak future rolls. As you progress you fill reward bars; completing them grants extra items, creating a satisfying risk‑and‑reward loop. Side B flips the focus: the same 5d6 determine which tetrominoes appear on the board, and your goal becomes covering the entire grid, a classic spatial puzzle. Both sides share re‑rolling, locking, and once‑per‑game abilities, demanding strategic timing each turn. With a light weight (2/5), a short playtime (15‑30 min) and solo‑only design, it’s perfect for a coffee‑break session or anyone who prefers playing alone. All components are printable, requiring only paper, a pen and dice. Fans of dice‑driven games, grid‑coverage puzzles, and video‑game‑themed titles will find a compact, enjoyable experience here.
