Dice Cards is a board game released in 2023 for 1–99 players, 15–30 minutes per game, and ages 7 and up. It was designed by Tucker Smedes and its main mechanics are Dice Rolling, Variable Set-up, and Paper-and-Pencil.
A super-variable roll & write game for players new and seasoned. It’s as simple as rolling 2 dice and selecting a number to record each turn, but that’s also the tricky part, only one number. Players attempt to get the best score by recording a single number each roll to one of 6 different cards they’re playing each game. The game features over 50 unique cards each with their own scoring mini game. Dice Cards also works for large group play with point based victory options. —description from the publisher
Dice Cards supports 1–99 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 Cards is 15–30 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 Dice Cards for ages 7 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.
Dice Cards has a complexity rating of 1.4 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.
