About the game

What you do in a play session

Get ready to enter the ring with Luchador! Mexican Wrestling Dice, a dice game that throws you right into the heart of Lucha Libre! The idea is simple: each player controls a wrestler, and the goal is to knock out the opponent or pin them for a three-count. You'll roll custom dice representing hits, blocks, and even special moves. The fun lies in combining the results and deciding when to risk more to inflict damage or try your luck with a devastating special move. If you roll two 'hits', you can risk a special die that might unleash your Luchador's signature attack, potentially causing much more damage! If you roll a 'pin', it's time to try and trap the opponent. They'll have a few attempts to escape using their own dice. In tag-team matches, the action gets even more chaotic and fun, with the possibility of tagging your partner in. The rule about keeping dice within the ring adds a touch of dexterity and attention, as dice that fall out are disregarded. It's a fast-paced, loud, and action-packed game, perfect for those who enjoy a wrestling show vibe and want a light, exciting gaming experience.
