About the game
This 63-card expansion brings 8 new Legendary Units to the game (like the ones included in War Stories). These Units (and the new Awards included) represent the lesser known (and often forgotten) countries and cultures that helped the Allied cause: Australia, New Zealand, Poland, Belgium, Norway, Brazil, along with the Maori and the African-Americans. Included are the famous "Buffalo Soldiers" of the US 92nd Infantry Division, the Brazilian Expeditionary Force, the No.10 (Inter-Allied) Commando, and more.

Questions and answers
D-Day Dice: Heroes supports 1–4 players according to the catalogue. This range comes from the publisher’s listed player count, so the game can be set up for any group size within it. Some setups, rules and scoring details may still vary by player count, so check your edition’s rulebook for the exact configuration.
The listed playing time for D-Day Dice: Heroes is 45 minutes. This is the publisher’s estimate for a full game. The actual duration depends on the group, the player count and familiarity with the rules: first sessions usually run longer, while experienced groups often finish faster. Setup and teaching time are not included in this estimate.
The catalogue lists D-Day Dice: Heroes for ages 10 and up. This is the publisher’s recommendation and reflects reading demands, rule complexity and small components rather than theme alone. Younger players can often join with help from an adult, so check the age guidance on your edition and consider your group’s experience with board games.
D-Day Dice: Heroes has a complexity rating of 2.0 out of 5 from BoardGameGeek players, which makes it a medium-light game. The rating reflects how much rules knowledge, planning and decision-making a typical game demands. Expect a longer first teach for heavier games, and use a preparation guide before game night.
D-Day Dice: Heroes belongs to these categories: Dice, World War II, and Expansion for Base-game. Its main mechanics are Dice Rolling, Simultaneous Action Selection, and Cooperative Game. Categories describe the theme and setting of a game, while mechanics describe what players actually do on their turns.

The catalogue lists D-Day Dice: Heroes as an expansion for D-Day Dice. Expansions add new content, rules or scenarios to the base game and usually cannot be played on their own, so you need D-Day Dice to use it. Check that your edition of D-Day Dice is compatible, as some expansions were revised between editions.
