GAME SYSTEM
This entry is to allow for discussion/rating of the game system as a whole. It is not for a specific product or release. Versions will appear on the individual item pages.
Dice Throne is a fast-paced 2-6 player combat game, whether 1v1, 2v2, 3v3, 2v2v2, or free-for-all. Select from a variety of heroes that play and feel completely distinct from one another. Attack opponents and activate abilities by rolling your hero's unique set of five dice. Accumulate combat points and spend them on cards that have a large range of effects, such as granting permanent hero upgrades, applying status effects, and manipulating dice directly whether yours, your teammate's, or even your opponent's.
Each player needs their own hero dice and cards to play Dice Throne. "Season One" of the game was released in a single box that contains components for six heroes, while "Season Two" was released in four small sets that each contain components for two heroes as well as a "Battle Chest" that has these four small sets. Heroes can be mixed-and-matched across seasons.

Quotes (from this video)
- this is fundamentally the same game as yahtzee
- the biggest single difference is that all players are working off the same set of dice
- it's weirdly like a cross between a dice game of yahtzee and magic the gathering without the deck construction
- it's meanly hard at times and disturbingly unfair
- I would recommend it for people who love probability and love taking risk
- it's so silly and light that you can't take it too seriously
- this is a modern take on yahtzee
- my favorite game directly inspired by yahtzee
- you can roll and you can re-roll up to three times
- you can re-roll as much as you want but one side on each character is a biohazard
- it's on phones it's on tablets you can just pick it up and play it anywhere you want
- 30 dice worth of actions in a four- to six-player game
