Dice Age: The Hunt is a board game released in 2017 for 2–4 players, 30 minutes per game, and ages 8 and up. It was designed by Toshiki Sato and its main mechanics are Set Collection, Dice Rolling, and Area Majority / Influence.
The Dice Age cometh! In Dice Age: The Hunt, you and your men spend day and night hunting to provide for your tribe. There are six hunting grounds in total. Each tribe sends their hunter into those grounds, competing to be the most worthy hunters — the only ones allowed to hunt in that particular hunting ground. Only one thing is certain: the more hunters, the better chance of success! Your tribe will thrive in its own unique way over the course of four generations, i.e., four rounds of gameplay. Some tribes will be known as proud warriors conquering vast lands while others will be led by barbaric yet powerful figures. There may even be tribes that accumulate wealth through trade as merchants. Whatever the means, the goal of all tribes is the same: to become the true ruler of the Dice Age! To hunt, to prosper, and to become the most powerful tribe of them all! —description from the publisher
Dice Age: The Hunt supports 2–4 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 Dice Age: The Hunt is 30 minutes. This is the publisher’s estimate for a full game.

Setup and teaching time are not included in this estimate.
The catalogue lists Dice Age: The Hunt for ages 8 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.
