About

Dicecrawl

Read full description

Dicecrawl is a dice-rolling roguelike deckbuilder. Roll your dice, keep the best, and score Yahtzee-style combos — but here your dice are also your steps on a runed board, where every tile you land on chains into bonuses, gold, relics, and traps. Each run is a quick, tense build: spend gold in the shop, draft synergistic dice and relics, upgrade your faces, and push your score curve to clear each floor before your turns run out. BUILD AROUND YOUR OWN ENGINE • Face scorers — stack bonuses for sixes, primes, odds, and more • Chains — detonate neighboring tiles for explosive combo turns • Go-wide / copy — duplicate your dice to chase six-, seven-, eight-, even nine-of-a-kind • Multipliers — double and triple your way past the target FEATURES • Dual-purpose dice: the same roll is your score AND your movement • Draft a deck from 20 special dice and 20 relics (3 dice and 4 relics are part of the optional premium pack) • 12 floors to win — then dive into the Abyss, up to floor 18 • 3 difficulty tiers: Normal, Hard, and Nightmare • Daily Challenge with a shared seed + a Game Center leaderboard and achievements • Runs last just a few minutes — easy to pick up, hard to put down • Free to play. One optional purchase removes ads and unlocks the premium dice and relics. No real-money gambling — just dice, clever combos, and deckbuilding depth.
