About the game
The Duelist enters the Mad King’s arena, dashing with deadly elegance. This dancing debonair disarms dastardly foes with flashy footwork, striking from unexpected angles—whether stepping forward with flair or falling backward with precision, his style is as lethal as it is captivating. With his all-new Footwork mechanic, the Duelist slashes, parries, and dazzles opponents, turning each movement into a deadly dance. Every roll brings opportunity for finesse, deception, and perfectly timed strikes that keep foes guessing. Dice Throne is a fast-playing game of skilled card play and dice manipulation for 2–6 players. Roll your hero’s custom dice up to three times per turn to activate unique abilities, unleash attacks, and outplay opponents. All heroes are fully compatible across the entire Dice Throne series. Note: This is a single hero for play in the Dice Throne tabletop game system. A minimum of two Hero Packs is required to battle.
