Dice Barons is a quick tabletop game in which the players build castles out of custom, multicoloured dice. The players ('barons') take it in turn to draw four dice at a time from a bag and roll them. The barons use the dice the way up they fall, as building blocks to create their castles. When the draw bag is emptied, the game ends and the baron with the largest castle wins.
The colours of the dice faces are important for building – in the castle, all roofs must be orange, all walls must be grey or yellow. Players must end their turn with a legal castle. Each dice scores victory points at the end of the game – the higher up the castle, the more points it scores.
Using special Catapult Dice, you can attack other baron's castles, forcing them to remove dice, and defend your own from damage.
