About this game

Dice Throne turns dice-rolling into full-blown hero combat: pick a character with a completely distinct playstyle, from brute-force bruisers to trickster mages, and roll your own set of five unique dice each turn to attack and trigger abilities. Combat points build up as you fight, and you spend them on cards that upgrade your hero permanently, slap status effects on opponents, or let you manipulate dice, yours, a teammate's, or an enemy's. Every hero plays and feels genuinely different, so learning a new one is basically learning a new game. It scales from tight one-on-one duels to chaotic team battles, and every roll matters.
