About the game
D-Day Dice Pocket: Two mini games in one small box! "D-Day Dice Battle!" is a dice-rolling, competitive push-your-luck game for any number of players, where you must match the enemy forces die for die. While doing so, you can earn medals to influence your rolls... or hinder the rolls of the others! "D-Day Dice Express!" is a cooperative game for 1 to 4 players, where everyone must work together to invade the beaches of Normandy. Fighting in increasingly harder conditions on 6 different beaches, players must rally specialists to defeat the German defences. This box includes 13 dice, 7 medal/specialist cards, 6 advanced beaches and 1 special black die, "The Kommandant", which brings an extra layer of difficulty to both games. Also included are special rules to include the grey dice into your main D-Day Dice game as MGF Dice. This is completely separate game to D-Day Dice, but uses the RWB mechanic.

Questions and answers
D-Day Dice Pocket supports 1–8 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 Pocket is 15 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 Pocket 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 Pocket has a complexity rating of 1.1 out of 5 from BoardGameGeek players, which makes it a 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.
