Marvel Dice Throne is a strategic combat game for 2-4 players (expandable to 6 with additional sets) that combines dice rolling, card play, and unique hero abilities. Players choose from four distinct Marvel heroes—Scarlet Witch, Thor, Loki, or Spider-Man—each with their own playstyle and custom dice set. The game supports multiple modes, including 1v1, 2v2, or free-for-all battles.
Gameplay revolves around rolling dice to execute attacks and activate special abilities while accumulating combat points (CP) to play cards. These cards provide various effects, such as hero upgrades, status modifications, and dice manipulation—affecting your own rolls, teammates', or opponents'.
The core set includes four hero boards, four rule leaflets, four sets of five custom dice (one per hero), 132 hero cards, four CP dials, and four health dials. Expansions introduce additional heroes like Captain Marvel, Black Panther, Black Widow, and Doctor Strange, increasing the player count to six. The game is fully compatible with Roxley Games' Dice Throne system.
Recommended for ages 8 and up, with an average playtime of 30+ minutes.
Things to Keep in MindA notable concern among some players is the game's complexity, with reports of rules being difficult to understand and learn. There are also recurring mentions of the product's outer box arriving damaged or without adequate shipping protection. Additionally, some find the game less suitable for larger groups due to the potential for longer turn durations, which can impact player engagement. Why You'll Like ItPlayers frequently describe the game as fun and strategic, appreciating its engaging blend of dice mechanics and tactical depth. The overall quality of the game components, including durable boards and well-designed character-specific trays, is also a common positive point.
