Description
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.
Outcasts is the newest edition of the Dice Throne universe! 4 more original heroes to throw into your Dice Throne game nights!

Quotes (from this video)
- Quantity time I have like uh for a longer game. So one of these is for quantity time is play a longer game that you love but maybe you rarely rarely get to play. You get a big chunk of time with someone that you value and playing a longer game that you really enjoy. And there's quality time which is more about bonding with someone over a an activity that really connects you with that person. And so some examples I gave for this would be to like go to a game cafe or a store with someone else and you know play a game, have a have a cup of coffee.
- Well, that kind of lead that's interesting because I I think people might I I think you highly value time. I do, too. I think maybe people value it in different ways because two of the categories that I have on the love languages are quality time and quantity time.
- For me, the number one way that someone can make me feel uh appreciated or care for it or loved is if they learn a game that I don't know and they take the time to teach it to me. That is far more valuable to me than a new game.
- So, yeah, I get that. I 100% get that. That's wonderful. And the thing I love about this whole concept of these love languages, whether they apply to games or otherwise, is that it it I think it leads to deeper connections with other people. It it means that you're looking outside of yourself.
- Because for me, um my if I didn't know about this concept, I would assume that other people feel the most loved if I go out of my way to do something for them, if I save them time or inconvenience. But that might not be that might be way down on someone else's list. They might love to get a new game under the tree or, you know, as a gift. They might love to have that that game day or that time at a game cafe. That might be very high on their list. So, it it's really helped me to pay attention to how other people feel valued and to learn more about them in that way.

Quotes (from this video)
- Gosh darn, it feels good to be filming a video in my studio.
- Any games I picked up at UKGE were going to be traveling on five planes to get back to where I need and you can't just check a bag because it would have reduced the amount of trips from five down to three cuz you have to transfer your check bags when you're entering the US anyway.
- So, that's just way too much to justify bringing home a lot of things.
- This was an easy one to pick up because I love four shuffle.
- I liked the game, but I don't keep print and plays in my collection.
- I have basically everything Dice Throne to date, I believe.
- It's the game I'm most excited about.
- The guy's like, 'No, it's a prototype. We can't sell it to you.' He's like, 'I don't care. There's a misprint here.'
- So, I got my hands on some Bunny Kingdom.
- And they were like, 'No.' They're like, 'No, it has not sold well enough to justify another expansion.'
- Oh. Oh. Oh, I'm excited for this one.

Overall sentiment (raw)
positive
Pros
- Four distinct characters with unique playstyles
- Stunning artwork and visual design
- Thematic cohesion with a Halloween vibe
- Dynamic and thematic transformations (Pale Lady ↔ Werewolf)
- Fun and flavorful mechanics that expand the base game without breaking it
Cons
- Increased complexity; not ideal for absolute beginners
- Headless Horseman and Necromancer are notably more complex
- Beginner players might want to start with the Pale Lady before exploring the others
Thematic elements
- dark fantasy combat featuring necromancy, werewolves, and terror
- Halloween/Horror-fantasy with a Santa Claus and Krampus vibe
- character-driven arena combat with episodic transformations and cursed interactions
Comparison games
- Thor (as a quick reference to a head-throwing combat motif)
Mechanics (from transcript analysis)
- Combat: Damage Based — Werewolf side tends to be more offensive; some attacks become undefendable, increasing threat level.
- Defensive variance / undefendable damage — Werewolf side tends to be more offensive; some attacks become undefendable, increasing threat level.
- Grim pursuit / dreadful tokens — Tokens that modify attacks, damage, and dice outcomes; spending tokens can enable extra effects and even undefendable blows.
- Hex and debuffs — Hex can nullify dice results (turning sixes into blanks), creating powerful control pressure on opponents.
- Moon shards / transformation — Pale Lady can flip into Werewolf by collecting three moon shard pieces; transformation alters abilities and strategy. Moon shards gradually deplete, flipping back when spent.
- Necromancer corpse system — Corpse dial tracks corpses; Unear costs hide abilities; summoning golems (skeletal warriors, skeletal mages, bone golems) with varied effects; resurrection provides a life-saving option.
- Nevermore / Ravenous — Ravenous uses Nevermore to accumulate effects (sending effects to other players, absorbing vitality, and manipulating damage via feather tokens).
- Prey and attack modifiers — Prey tokens influence damage on attacks, with different effectiveness between Pale Lady and Werewolf variants.
