Skip it if you…
Saves you a refund- Players who want direct control during battles may hit a wall when combat resolves automatically after targets are chosen
- Players who need predictable resource gathering may bounce off rerolls that can trigger natural disasters
- Solo players seeking a single-player campaign may not find the multiplayer format suitable
- Players looking for direct tactical unit control may find the kingdom-development focus too limited
Our take on Dice Kingdoms
The bounce point arrives when a resource plan depends on rerolls: they can produce needed resources, but may also trigger natural disasters. Players who expect to direct each fight may hit another wall when battles resolve automatically after targets are selected.
What is Dice Kingdoms?
Dice Kingdoms is a multiplayer, turn-based strategy game where players develop islands and compete through culture, military conquest, or construction of an expensive wonder.
Players choose what to build and arrange city structures to use space while anticipating attacks and diseases. Specialized houses provide more dice for gathering resources. Rerolls can pursue needed resources but may trigger natural disasters. Battles resolve automatically after players choose targets, and pillaging strategic buildings yields resources. Natural disasters depend on the number of skulls rolled; some affect the player who rolled them, while others affect opponents. The game supports competition among friends, with development, resource gathering, construction, and combat forming its main activities.
