This box of Marvel Dice Throne puts four heroes into the ring: Scarlet Witch, Thor, Loki and Spider-Man. It is a fast, dice-driven fighting game where every hero has a different set of five dice and an asymmetrical design built around their comic personality. You roll your own dice to attack and trigger abilities, collect combat points and spend them on cards with all sorts of effects, including permanent upgrades to your hero. You can fight one against one, two against two, three against three, in three teams of two, or as a free-for-all. It is about forty minutes of rolling, bluffing about what you will keep, and smacking Loki around. Two to four players, 2022, and one box is plenty to start.

Who it's for

You like dice fights with different characters, enjoy Marvel, and want something that plays fast with friends.

Not for you if…

You hate luck in a fight or want a deep strategy game. Dice decide a lot even with good card play.

Vibe's take

Snappy and combo-driven: you roll, reroll in your head, and watch a rival's big attack fizzle. Each hero feels different, and the punches come quickly.
