About the game
Dice Crawl is a quick, fun dungeon-crawling tile game for 1 to 4 players. Players take on the roles of mercenary captains racing to get their team of adventurers to the center of the dungeon, while other captains try to do the same thing. Dice Crawl comes with 48 interchangeable tiles, including 4 races, 4 classes, and 4 quick reference tiles. Players will need to provide their own 6-sided dice (roughly 20-25 are needed per player), otherwise you’d be buying a box of dice. And we know you have dice! Each player works to gain control of the dungeon as they search for the center. The game ends when a player runs out of dice or someone finds the center of the dungeon. Beware! Not all paths lead to the center and some teams may never find the glory they seek. Luck and strategy combine in this furious game of hack-and-slashery!

Questions and answers
Dice Crawl 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 Dice Crawl is 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 Crawl 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.
Dice Crawl has a complexity rating of 2.0 out of 5 from BoardGameGeek players, which makes it a medium-light game.
