Why It's On The List
  • The best of the customizable dice games out there... and it moves along at a furious pace as you develop your little medieval realm.
Tips & Tricks:
  • Much like Dominion, being able to look at the collection of special powers/die faces available in the game and make a coherent plan for development is a key to victory.
  • When there are "attack" die faces in play, you want to make sure you have some defensive capabilities... as the combination of attacks + winter can put you into a death spiral (and hasten the end of the game).
Extras
  • There is an expansion on the way (Trade) which I not had the opportunity to see.
  • Tom (the designer) published solo & cooperative rules for Dice Realms... they are worth checking out.
  • This is the third of seven (7!) games designed by Tom Lehmann on the countdown.
