About the game

What you do in a play session

Get ready for an electrifying dice battle in Impact: Battle of Elements! Inspired by the classic Strike, this fast and furious game pits you against your friends in a contest to see who can hold onto their dice the longest. Each player starts with five dice, each with a blank side and five showing elemental symbols. The gameplay is simple and direct: you roll one die into the 'arena' (which, believe it or not, is the game box itself!). If two or more dice show the same symbol, you claim those dice back and your turn ends. If a die lands blank, it's removed from play. If no symbols match, you can stop or risk rolling another die. But beware! If the arena is empty at the start of your turn, you must throw all your dice in. Running out of dice means you're out of the game! The last player with dice remaining wins. And for those who like an extra kick, there's a variant where each elemental symbol has a special power. When you make a match, you get to unleash that symbol's power. It's pure luck with a dash of strategy, perfect for kicking off any game night or for quick, exciting matches.

Frequently Asked Questions

Quick answers before you buy

6 questions
How many players can join?
The game is for 2 to 5 players, so you can gather a good group!
How long does a game take?
It's super quick! Expect about 15 minutes per game, perfect for a warm-up or for playing multiple rounds.
Are the rules complicated to learn?
Not at all! The rules are very simple, you'll learn them in minutes and be rolling dice in no time.
What comes in the box?
You'll find the dice (with elemental symbols and a blank side), the box that turns into the arena, and the rules.
Is there a chance someone gets eliminated early on?
Yes, player elimination is a game mechanic. If you run out of dice, you're out. It can happen quickly if luck isn't on your side!
Is this a game for those who enjoy deep strategy?
Not exactly. Dice luck is the main factor, but the decision of when to stop or risk another die adds an interesting layer of risk.
