Dice Throne Season Two | Game the Game

[@lp9092]

Really neat watching Nate, the developer, enjoy and be part of the game. Enthusiasm is contagious. Also Becca is fun and ruthless. What a great host and gamer.

[@zephusdragon]

Dice Throne is such an amazing game. The creators talked me into buying a copy last year during Emerald City Comic Con. It's so easy to teach and the mechanics are easy to learn for a novice as well as a veteran game player.

[@joelface]

Totally. That's why I love that there are different "complexity level" characters. They're still balanced, but you can essentially play more and more advanced versions of the game as you learn and master the simpler characters... Perfect for casual gamers or people (like me) who don't learn complex games very quickly.

[@JaKamps]

"I like a few battle scars" ha. I liked how the players emulated their characters, & having a game designer on board was great!

[@SebastienDupre00]

Fantastic video. Actual gameplay, while explaining the rules. It actually looks like everyone is having fun. Great host and players (Oh yeah and I just hit the "order" button") 😅

[@Naptosis]

Can't believe you got M.Bison to play.

[@JaKamps]

Right?!

[@juliankuhn5990]

before i scrolled down to the comments this was my exact thought......haha

[@tracysommerville6217]

How

[@JheMeeMaps]

My goodness, great with nate there helping step by step as the game goes on, really helped with order of play for my friends and I. Great Game!

[@Ephelle]

My boyfriend and I met the creators at PAX Unplugged a couple years ago, and we were able to beta test these exact two characters. I totally destroyed him with the Gunslinger (not really it was actually super close but I'll brag anyway).

[@ashwonder6]

I love the cursed pirate. The creators and their team are so unbelievably nice. I can't wait till season 3!

[@joelface]

The pirate is absolutely my favourite as well. Love her Powder Keg status effect... it's almost a game within a game. Haha. I can't wait for S3 either!

[@ashwonder6]

Have you had luck with getting the timing right on the cursed side? Sometimes I flip really soon and lose terribly other times I flip halfway and kill it. It's always toss up but so fun.

[@baraka99]

This game is awesome and with Becca playing it goes OVERKILL!!!

[@Clasteau]

The keep and reroll mechanic is one of my fave things about King of Tokyo, so to see it put to such great application with this game is really exciting. Just bought the 'Slinger/Samurai box to get started, YAY!

[@frogjackethuman781]

Becca's reloads and Duels were putting in the work!

[@Jeffs40K]

Dice Throne is One my Favorite games, I have Season One and Two. play again with 4 players in Teams next time with different characters.

[@Ghettohamster]

I met the creators of the game in essen (Germany). And we hab a nice chat and now the first season is a real nice game in our collection

[@PeanutFour]

Love those supporting whispers of Nate soooo much!!!! =))))))) The 2 players are so good too

[@megalodon2012]

Glad this game is getting the attention it deserves!

[@JWSmith48]

Wonderful game, Great creators, and an amazing community on Facebook.

[@alexrea123]

Played Dice Throne for the first time last night and loved it. I bought The Tactician vs Huntress and my mate bought the Marvel Black Panther vs Dr Strange. We played incorrectly the first time, as we didn't realise that the Tactician and Huntress don't have passive abilities. Still really enjoyable games though. I won the first battle, by getting my ultimate off on the final turn, for the win. Converted three of my strategic tokens into CP, to change the last two dice into Medals 🏅 😂

[@dungeonmaster16]

Literally played this yesterday with friends. What I learned from tactician and his advantages is just go nuts on them. The tactician isn’t really an aggressive fighter so I just build up advantages and use them to quickly gain cp, card draws, protect and apply targeted on opponents since that urges the other players go attack targeted since they take +2 damage. As game goes by I just keep any counter cards in hand in case of being attacked or opponent roles something really good.

[@Emperor_Atlantis]

I got all the sets from season2. It has been the best wave so far

[@AlphaMike2k]

Ordered two of the verses boxes. Thanks, Becca 😘

[@joelface]

You're going to love it!

[@Shot007]

doesn't it make sense to just buy the whole set. 2 verses boxed costs about the same

[@marks6928]

Shot007 the whole set isn’t necessarily available at retail at this point (from what I’ve seen only the first two boxes are available at retail), where as the full 8 went to Kickstarter with the second batch of boxes coming soon. Also, no way does it work out about the same price.

[@thegamechats]

She lost cause she forgot to take the damage of 7 points when she first got constricted. At the end she was left with seven points while he still had one point. If she would’ve taken the 7 damage (which she forgot) points at the start when she had 43 point she would’ve lost (or better yet did lose). Leaving him with 1 point making him the winner. Great 👍🏽 game though loved the episode can’t wait for the next game 🤙🏽

[@5ammy13]

Yes... This bothered me a lot. When the tactician reminded her to take 7 damage, she just shrugged it off and distracted him with talking about the Conflict status effect :-P I am sure it is a mistake, but still :-P

[@Mercury_EG]

@@5ammy13 Yeah this was painful and made me stop watching lol.

[@Nibiru_Truths]

Becca's little mischievous laugh had me rolling.

[@jaggin7561]

I subbed to this channel because Becca!

[@jaggin7561]

@@GoodTimeSociety Youre welcome Becca you should make more videos on your channel. Youre amazing!

[@braedonmilhollin7510]

Everybody freaking out over her forgetting the damage chill. They are only human and even the creator missed it so its clear it's a mistake and not something ment to be malicious.

[@davidm9035]

Not sure if it's already been said here or not, buuuuuuuuut...Jason the Tactician actually won that game. Early on, they were so caught up explaining Constricted status, she forgot to take the 7 damage that came with it. Game should have ended on a VERY dramatic & climactic 0-1 health conclusion in Jason's favor. Still...awesome game to watch it play out

[@neilgoodacre3655]

No, her defense roll would at least have dealt one damage so he'd have been dead, or 3 damage / half incoming damage so she'd still have won.

[@thehobbyist7275]

If I didn't know better, his costume made me think of M Bison from Street Fighter Edit: Now that I've watched the video, there's a couple of things strategically that I would've done to play better(though it was a great game): 1) Sometimes, it's just better to consistently do damage rather than go for the big swings(which happened quite a lot this particular game), especially if the dice aren't in your favor. 2) Probably a bit out of the Tactician's control as that's how the deck played out, but I didn't see a lot of upgrades played. Whenever I play any Dice Thrones(Marvel or original), I don't necessarily go for the ones that do more damage, but I go for the cards that give me more dice combinations especially if I know I rolled a lot of a particular symbol or number that doesn't help out a lot on the other abilities but does on that particular upgrade. I also don't like sticking to any one status effect that my character has and constantly trying to adapt if I have to. The larger the diversity of effects, oftentimes the better I do 3) Both sides really were fans of holding onto the cards they had and weren't able to always maximize efficiency. I firmly believe that if you don't get anything more immediate and are waiting too long for something good to happen( perhaps it's just my playstyle), you should sell the cards for CP to get bigger plays. I'll even at times sell my whole hand if I believe I can do better next turn rather than let it clog up my ability to do anything. You'll always reshuffle and recycle your deck eventually.

[@theMyouknow]

You forgot your evasive action against his 7 damage.

[@leegreenberg4218]

Gunslinger, you have forgotten the face of your father.

[@jacobsteele7138]

Roland would end this with his offhand in one turn.

[@韓冠緯]

Dice Throne is a good game 👍

[@jeannettetran1882]

Do you guys bring in fans? I would totally love to dress up and play! I love Dice Throne!!!

[@joelface]

This is really fun!!!!! Where did they get those card sleeves?

[@tacticalsweater5119]

I would love to play this. Wish I had friends lol.

[@joelface]

You can play it for free on TableTop Simulator... just start a game and people will show up and start playing with you online. It's actually a lot of fun! That said, it is more fun to play this game with friends.. but I bet if you bought this game, you could get people to come play with you. Bring it to a local game event and hook a few people. :P

[@naj5999]

Whoa, good to know I can play online. Love this game but only get to play on a rare occasion.

[@Thesussysuscat]

So does the tactician get a combat point at the beginning of upkeep or no?

[@Noblemartel]

I think I saw you ask this on a different video as well? In case it was someone else, no he just gets cp on his income like everyone else. He can spend tactical advantage to get cp, but he get's those from his various abilities not from the upkeep phase.

[@alexbiersner3350]

Yep, its decided, the next box im gonna get is the Gunslinger

[@BenjaminoBest]

So targeted goes into effect the same turn it’s dealt? So if you do 6 damage+deal targeted roll then it turns into 8 damage that turn? For some reason I read it differently.

[@starshot9418]

Kinda late but it depends on what the card says. If it says give targeted then deal damage then it gets plus 2. If its damage then target it is not plus 2

[@lganeshan86]

I wonder if they played it on a Tuesday

[@ostidenerd9108]

Nice game.

[@slatec5468]

My bro Shaun Carlson, submitted the idea and creation for the tactician.

[@natechatellier2130]

He did indeed! It was a pleasure working with Shaun on this :D

[@joelface]

That's so rad! What a great character. He gets to make so many tactical decisions each turn... it's really fun to play as him and try to decide what to spend your tokens on.

[@megamancards]

Becca's the cutest host ever.. and the other fellas are cool too.

[@TheJMan211]

Sitting here trying to figure out why he corrected her lack of cp on turn two but no one said anything about her not taking damage or even rolling for defense on the 7 point attack…what did we miss?

[@jimjamatam4127]

In the attack phase ... say i roll all my dice and set one aside ... is that one locked in for good Or can i re-roll the remainder of my dice then on the third roll, re-roll all of them?

[@evilbob840]

One of the players did that this game (I think it was Becca). She only kept a 6 from the first roll, but the second roll led in a different direction, so she re-rolled the 6 as the third roll.

[@joelface]

You can always choose to roll any of the dice.. so even if you set aside a dice after your first roll, you could always pick it up again after your second roll and try to get something else with it.

[@arowelor1007]

Becca is so funny :D

[@TheJMan211]

And at 40:12 why did she just get to randomly reroll her reload token?

[@joelface]

or at least a 2vs2 team match.. which is really a unique and deeper way to play the game. Or, even another 1vs1 with two different characters.. the Pirate would be a REALLY fun character to watch Becca play! The Artificer, which is a complexity 6 character, is another S2 character that is really fun to play.

[@louisifier7239]

She never took the first 7 damage he had done in the game....

[@animefreak2438]

Not the best tactician Run . But I love the game

[@edwinortiz4243]

cocked die in any game resolves as is: When the Die is Unreadable from both parties, if both parties can see the result is not cocked. watching her using this for her advanced and get away with it is fun, she is a Gun slinger cheating is allowed lol.

[@thunderfang6982]

My favorite parts were the cringy one liners :)

[@47streetcop96]

Dice sitting on edge of a flat playing card... Becca: "I am going to call that cocked (because this is my show and I am adorable)", "does anyone want to challenge that?" Nope, well played.

[@josuemunoz1993]

why do they need a third person?

[@ShabbaDabb]

When did this show become a stroll through Discount Costumes, Inc.?

[@skyblazeeterno]

when they realised the only good part of the show is that they are showacasing a shitload of NEW games and the host and guests are generally lame...weirdly the ongoing playthrough of Betrayal Legacy isnt too bad and fun in places

[@Cat-zc8nj]

Becca skipped her first income phase?

[@joelface]

It's part of the balance of the game to have the person who goes first to skip their first income phase. You get the advantage of doing the first attack, but you don't get that extra card and CP. There's a turn order card that states this right on it, so it's easy to remember when you're playing the actual game.

[@BenjaminoBest]

@@joelface Becca didn’t go first though

[@BenjaminoBest]

I was wondering the same thing that maybe she forgot her cp during her first turn during her excitement.

“2 damage is not that much” when you’re cheating and ignore the previous 7 damage you should have taken

[@johnjacobs5190]

2nd attack of the tactician the 7 points dmg was not deducted. u forgot the defense roll when u explained constrict. and later she forgets to take the 2 damage from the defense from the tactician. Becca u should have lost this game.

[@kylehathaway9476]

I agree. Watched this as well and thought she never lost that giant attack he hit her with in his second turn.

[@snowwarden3711]

great game too much money for me

[@LLordandmaster1]

This is frustrating watching after 15 mins after she just ignored the attack lol

[@braedonmilhollin7510]

She probably just missed it not meaning to "ignore" it. Even the creator seemed to miss it or else I'm pretty sure he would have spoken up more.

[@harrymavridis848]

she makes this unwatchable,, damn

[@Asaloy]

I wished I had such a cute and enthusiastic girlfriend for playing boardgames :D

[@BrknSoul]

Interesting game, but so many mistakes. Becca missed her income phase twice. I believe had they not had the game designer interrupting all the time, these phases wouldn't've been missed.

[@joelface]

Though to be fair, things are missed and forgotten and played wrong in most Game the Game episodes, as well as in most games in general. I've watched a lot of play-throughs and someone in the comments has almost always had to point things out. I also realize I've been playing games wrong a lot at home, so I'm not one to judge. All you can do is do your best and hope that if you miss something that someone else will notice it before the game moves on.

[@ZubLord]

This was extremely one-sided. Not a good advertisement for the game!

[@marks6928]

It was clearly the guy’s first time playing the tactician, and as the creator said, it’s a complexity 5 character (compared to the Gunslinger’s 2). Also, he got Becca down to about 6hp. If she hadn’t killed him that turn, he would have got her next turn. I don’t think that makes it “extremely one sided”. If she had beaten him with 30 hits points left, maybe, but as it was, it was close. I have Dice Throne season 1 and half of season 2, and of the 10 characters I have, all feel extremely well balanced and all have a chance of winning.

But that Tactician cosplay was sweet! It's true that he's a tough-ish character to learn for a non-Dice Throne player, though, you're right. But, I still enjoyed watching him playing and wrestling with the awesome choices you get to make as the Tactician.

[@VirgilCummings]

joelface tru tru yea i enjoy watching gsme the game...is this game worth getting? Are the characters different but also equal enough where one character doesnt dominate play??

[@braedonmilhollin7510]

I agree. But at least hes trying! Yes I understand the show is made to show off the game. But I personally, maybe others as well idk, find entertainment out of people trying to learn new things.

[@joelface]

@@VirgilCummings - This game is ABSOLUTELY worth getting. I love how different each character feels. Some characters are really simple to learn and you can just enjoy rolling the dice and basically knowing what you want to go for, where other characters involve numerous decision points each turn and you get to strategize multiple turns in advance as to what you think will work best for you against a specific character. The cards and the dice really play well together to create a unique game, and each character has a different set up. I'd play ANY character against ANY character and feel that I have an honest shot at winning.. and I know many people agree with me that this is a fantastically balanced game, despite the incredible variety of characters.
