Dice Crawl (2014)

About this game

Dice Crawl is a quick, fun dungeon-crawling tile game for 1 to 4 players. Players take on the roles of mercenary captains racing to get their team of adventurers to the center of the dungeon, while other captains try to do the same thing. Dice Crawl comes with 48 interchangeable tiles, including 4 races, 4 classes, and 4 quick reference tiles. Players will need to provide their own 6-sided dice (roughly 20-25 are needed per player), otherwise you’d be buying a box of dice. And we know you have dice! Each player works to gain control of the dungeon as they search for the center. The game ends when a player runs out of dice or someone finds the center of the dungeon. Beware! Not all paths lead to the center and some teams may never find the glory they seek. Luck and strategy combine in this furious game of hack-and-slashery!

Does it fit your group?

• Group size. Works with 1 to 4. It has a designed solo mode.
• Rules load. At 2.0/5 this is a mid-weight game — expect a proper rules explanation before you start.
• Age. The publisher suggests 10 and up. That rates the rules rather than the artwork, so judge the box yourself for younger players.
