King of the Dice

About the game

What is King of the Dice?

King of the Dice You're finally a king! All your dreams have been fulfilled. You sit content in your castle and look out over your wonderful kingdom. Green meadows, rolling fields, high mountains and clear rivers stretch as far as your eyes can see... but one thing is missing from your kingdom: citizens! So you announce the merits of the kingdom all over the country – in the rich cities, to the crazy gnomes in their workshops, to the dwarves in their deep mines, and also to the orcs, fairies and the sorcerer's apprentices. But they aren't easily convinced; after all there are also other kings trying to win them over. That's why you need skill and luck with the dice to entice the best citizens to your kingdom. But watch out for scoundrels and dragons. Otherwise your thriving kingdom will soon be a wretched wasteland, and you'll have to watch as someone else is crowned King of the Dice. Make your kingdom thrive! Step 1: Gain new citizens for your kingdom by fulfilling the various requirements on the cards with three rolls of the dice. Step 2: Special cards provide you with benefits. But watch out for scoundrels and dragons. Step 3: The player with the best citizens at the end wins the game!
