Dice Throne - How To Play

[@natechatellier2130]

It is a massive privilege to have a #watchitplayed Rodney video. You are a master at what you do my friend. Thank you!!

[@WatchItPlayed]

Thanks for all your help as I worked on the script Nate - a pleasure to share your game!

Seriously. It's so much nicer to teach games from Rodney, wish you had a video for every popular game out there.

Thanks for the great video, Rodney. My wife and I have season 1 and the first half of season 2 (Gunslinger vs Samurai, Huntress vs Tactician) and it is our favourite game to play together. Very well balanced, easy to pick up and tons of fun. One of the best two player games out there.

[@WatchItPlayed]

So glad to hear you enjoyed this one!

[@TheSpacebeagle]

I don't often comment but seriously everyone should try this game, it's so much fun and I can't believe how well balanced it is (Gunslinger beat Vampire Lord by 1 last night! ). Guys and gals at Roxley did an amazing job, the production values are awesome and it looks lovely on the table. Highly, highly recommended.

It feels more personal to watch you take it off your shelf and walk over to the table. I know it is nothing game changing but I think it comes across like you are inviting us to your table to learn a game. I hope we get to see a play through of this one. It has been on my radar for a while and I even saw the two player pack at Barnes & Nobles the other day. I wasn't sure if it was an expansion or not. Thanks for clearing that up. Have you played all of the characters yet? Which one is your favorite?

Honestly, having the camera pointing at the shelf rather than in your hand and walking to the table works a lot better for me motion sickness wise, and feels a bit more natural. Please consider doing it even for games you can take off the shelf one handed going forward.

[@tdahl9571]

Hey Rodney. Great video as always. Just wanted to express my thoughts on a couple things from the mid year update video. Regarding the polo I do think changing to different shirts changes the brand. However, I don't know that this change is necessarily negative. If most of your shirts are professional/business casual buttoned shirts like this, the professional style of the video still shows through. I think most of this comes from your presentation style, editing, and production value anyway. Also, no strong opinions about the new intro but I would have to say I am not a fan of the "selfie" film style at the beginning. Honestly, whatever the case, none of these changes would truly impact how much I appreciate and consume your content, so take that for what it's worth. Also, unrelated, but I have really appreciated how approachable and great you have been to talk to at conventions I've been able to attend! Best wishes for the new year!

Ooooo, looks pretty cool. Kind of a King of Tokyo meets Alien Frontier?

[@aaronv5188]

Dice throne killed King of Tokyo for me...KoT just didn't offer the same freedom, meaningful decisions, and strategy/tactics that DT does, so I ended up trading it away.

[@Tennethums1]

Aaron V quick question. Do the dice and cards ever crossover? For example, must roll a certain symbol on the die in order to having enough combat point? Seems like the cards and dice are two separate games, neither “heart stopping” by themselves (dice game plays itself to an extent and just use cards to pay for cards).

[@natechatellier2130]

​@@Tennethums1 I designed the cards and dice to have a massive amount of crossover between them in many different ways. 1) Some cards upgrade hero abilities which then require dice combinations to trigger. Some hero upgrade cards add entirely new roll types that never existed before. 2) Some cards require you to roll 1 or more dice to determine the effects. For example, "Vegas Baby" instructs you to roll a single die and then gain half the value as Combat Points, while "Get Some!" instructs you to roll all 5 dice and 1 additional dmg to an attack for each [Sword] rolled. 3) Some cards manipulate dice on the table (yours, your teammates, or your opponents). It might provide the ability to tip a die up or down by 1, or to change it directly to the number 6, or a wild card that allows you to change it to any die face desired. Conversely, many abilities require you to roll one or more dice after they have been successfully activated to determine the final outcome of the ability (whether it's the final damage and/or the final effects). Overall, there is a large cross dependency between the cards and the dice. Hope that helps!

[@aaronv5188]

Haha yeah, what Nate said! Everything plays off each other incredibly well. The only thing that ever made me scratch my head a bit was the idea of a targeting roll to determine the recipient of an attack after you'd already rolled the attack, but even that's not a huge deal, and the introduction of the King of the Hill variant neatly "fixes" it, in my opinion. It's a really well designed and balanced game...try it out for yourself at pnp.dicethrone.com/ and if you like it, you can pre-order at the Roxley website!

Hi Rodney. My dad and I learned how to play Dice Throne yesterday, and we used these two exact characters in your video. I had knocked my dad down to zero health. Would my dad also get a chance to use his Defensive Ability to try and recover some of his health so that he’s not at zero? Or, once I use my Offensive Ability and knock his health to zero…is the game immediately over? Thanks for the helpful video!

[@WatchItPlayed]

I don't have my copy to double check the answer for you, but my understanding is that as soon as you hit zero you're defeated.

[@PriusGuy2004]

@@WatchItPlayed Thank you, Rodney. I think I found a good answer in a Facebook group: "All the damage, healing, mitigation, and counter damage is summed up and applied at the same time. If the net is positive, you're not dead. If it is not positive, you are dead." So if I my dad had 5 health left, and I had dealt him 8 total damage, but he was only able to block 2 damage, at the end of the Offensive/Defensive Roll phase, he was at a -1 health, so the game ends.

[@AbdoKhjGaming]

Hey Rodney! hope you and your loved ones are doing well. I got two questions that may seem silly but i gotta know the answers XD. 1. Let's say the opponent did 10 damage to me. I rolled defense and as a result of my roll I did 5 damage to him. Do we resolve the damage to each other fully or does my defense deduct from his damage (so its like a counter attack) ? 2. if a certain token of mine can be used during (offense/defense) phase. Can play cards to help me with dice roll for that token?

[@WatchItPlayed]

1) You each fully assign your damage. 2) I tend to avoid questions related to specific card effects/tokens, as I cover so many games it's impossible for me to keep all of them fresh enough in my mind for that level of detail. I'd drop a question in the BoardGameGeek forums for that game (or check to see if it's been asked already).

[@tomsmith100]

Are the ONLY times you can add cards to your hand during the Income Phase (draw 1 card) and when a card effect adds cards to your hand?

[@WatchItPlayed]

That sounds right, but I don't have my copy of the game handy to double check for you right now, I'm afraid!

[@mydrynn]

Refining the intro I see :)

[@Kriptiko]

Just so I have this right, a player rolls up to 3 times for an attack. At any point, even after the 3rd reroll, the opponent may play a roll phase card that can change the value of the die? Essentially skipping the off. role phase (if changing left no valid dice requirement)?

[@WatchItPlayed]

Well, it looks fun but it is sadly nowhere actually available in my country right now. That seems to be the thing with the "new" kickstarter exclusive gaming market. If you miss the kickstarter the only thing you can do is wait for a reprint or another kickstarter campaign. The only thing I can order right now is "Dice Throne Season 2 Tactican vs. Huntress" from a near local store. Prbly a kickstarter leftover. For me as a collector not that great. Even the website is labeling the game out of stock untill june. So I will pass this one for now. But nethertheless I have enjoyed this video despite not playing the game myself.

Is it important to have season 1 before season 2 if you have not played before?

[@asyoulikeitrosalind]

No, not at all!

[@WatchItPlayed]

You don't need to have played Season 1 to play Season 2.

[@joelface]

No, it's not necessary. I would start with a Gunslinger vs. Samurai match if you've not played before though. There are higher complexity characters that are easier to learn after you have a game or two under your belt. The leaflets each have that complexity rating listed. Season 1 does have a complexity level 1 character (the Barbarian), which makes it a good choice for teaching the game to non-gamers. But Season 2 is absolutely still easily learnable. There's nothing from season 1 that you need for season two. You only ever need ANY two characters in order to play the game.

Not at all! The Barbarian and Moon Elf from Season One are the best way to learn the game, but the Gunslinger vs Samurai matchup from Season Two is a close second.

Joel nails it, season 1 is just as solid and re-layable as season 2. Get both and your options are through the roof.

Very glad you enjoyed!

What happens when my attack roll and opponent defense result in both our health points reaching zero? Who win or is it a draw?

Hey there, you'll find this covered in the video. I also have an index in the description of the video, to help viewers find the rules they are looking for.
