Product Information

Now with expansions that exist maybe its s totally different story BUT if a base game cant stand on it’s own to me it’s a fail unless they do a bundle deal for base + expansion.

It is a game that rarely fails to draw folks to the table, even if just out of curiosity about the dice. Some of the iconography takes a bit to get to grips with for new players but once explained it is easy to understand and follow. Each player is given a player board and player cubes for tracking resources, a light die, a dark die and a player pawn. The idea of customizable dice or a dice-builder has always intrigued me – for at least ten years now… which is when I first saw the first prototype of Stephen Glenn’s game which eventually became Rattlebones… The physical constraints of the die (given that each one will only have 6 faces) makes this a bit of a different challenge than a deck-builder.

Eager for shows and bored out of their minds, the gods are finally setting up their dream tournament: thrilling trials on their islands, magic dice to tame, a temple especially dedicated to the cause, and an ultimate reward.

You need to start the game with a strategy or engine already in your head, and then play out the game with only minor adjustments. They usually have resources and a handful of core elements as icons only and yes use the evil text for names of abilities or descriptions. This is one of the best games I have gotten for our family to play as it is intuitive, language independent, and icons are pretty easy to remember. The straight victory point cards, especially the 26 victory point Hydra costing five sun shards and five moon shards can really swing the scoring. Matt had an astute observation after one of our games when he said that, more than anything, Dice Forge feels like a proof of concept.But, you do have to look at the combinatorics of the faces, making sure that you give yourself the best probability of getting the rolls that you want to happen.

Glory Points (GP) - Green - Contributes directly to your score; can be earned by rolling the appropriate dice face, activating certain reinforcements, and at the end of the game the Glory value of all collected cards is added to your score.

Once you ask yourself this question, Dice Forge changes from having a lot of interesting strategies, to one where only a couple are viable. It’s light enough to rally the family, but thoughtful enough that you could go all in on decision-making with a group of gamers. Going for a Hammer mid- to late-game gives you a lot of flexibility to get some residual points when you’re not as interested in Forging anymore. No fault of the developers, but there are a lot of decisions that block progression for other players.

This list has wallet-sized and wallet-friendly games; games for the first timer and for friends who have been playing for years. It’s short enough where even relatively inexperienced gamers can plot their potential end game before the first die has even been cast. Offering to the Gods - The active player may "purchase" one or more different die faces from the Temple board.Every card among the celestial islands offers unique powers that you can harness to gain the advantage throughout the game. You want to race forward and execute quick turns, but the logistics of the game’s core system make that difficult. Dice Forge is a gorgeous looking game and the way the artwork on the box, main board, Temple board and Heroic Feat cards all tie is a nice touch.
