Mythical Dice — Prices

Imagine the tension of a classic trick-taking game, but swap the cards for dice and add a pinch of mythological chaos. In Mythical Dice (also known as Mino Dice), the goal is simple yet challenging: you must predict exactly how many tricks you'll win in each round. If you're precise, you score; if you miscalculate, you pay the price.

The dynamics work like this: in each round, you draw a number of dice from the bag equal to the current hand (for example, five dice for the fifth hand) and keep them hidden behind a screen. The heart of the game lies in the bidding: everyone simultaneously reveals how many tricks they think they'll claim.

When the action starts, the first player rolls a die. If it's a number die, others must try to respond with a die of the same color if possible. But here is where the strategy kicks in: you can ignore the colors and roll one of the special characters. The Minotaur, the Griffin, and the Mermaid create a 'rock-paper-scissors' cycle: the Minotaur beats the Griffin, the Griffin beats the Mermaid, and the Mermaid beats the Minotaur. Furthermore, any of these three trump any number. But beware of the flag! If it appears, its value is zero, and you cannot win the trick.

Scoring rewards precision. Did you hit your bid exactly? You earn 20 points per trick. Missed it? You lose 10 points for each trick of difference. There's also the 'zero bid' challenge: betting that you won't win anything can be highly rewarding if you succeed, but it's a huge risk. For those who love combos, capturing specific characters with the right counter-piece (like a Mermaid against a Minotaur) grants generous bonus points. It's a fast-paced, tense game perfect for those who love that 'I knew it!' feeling.
