Episode 7 - Rollin' Them Bones

Roll the dice and take a listen to Episode 7. In this episode, we talk about dice games, what we think makes a good dice game, and just how people love dice.
  • The first segment is about various dice games, how they have gone beyond Yahtzee, and the way the market is now bleeding over into other categories, but using dice as the main component of the game (01:47)
  • In Casual Corner, Marty discusses the game Quarriors! by Wizkids Games. (15:15)
  • We also touch on how dice aren't used just in games, the variety of dice, and some other accessories you might need when playing dice games. (34:10)
  • We then try a new segment called "What's Your Point" where we debate how dice games need to allow the player to minimize luck. (44:26)

Hopefully the show will give you new ideas on how to take dice to a new level in your gaming activities.

  1. Quarriors reminds me of a game that TSR put out called Dragon Dice. It is now put out by SFR Inc. (http://www.sfr-inc.com/) I actually have the original game and have played it a few times. It's fun. It is like a dice wargame where you have dice that represents terrain and dice that represents armies and creatures in the armies.

  2. Hmmm, curious to how the Dungeon Dice game will compare to that.
