Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: The Dice Game at 5.0 against Board Games's 4.4. The Dice Game also leads on ads (none vs shown). Board Games's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 10) and ratings volume (9 vs 1). On price, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. The Dice Game sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per month. Board Games asks for nothing beyond the download.
The Dice Game holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Board Games has 9 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.
