About the game
The fog lifts over the battlefield and the enemy troops are revealed on the other side. Your men move nervously anticipating the fight. You raise your hand giving your troops the order to attack. The die is cast, the battle begins. Fantasy Dice Battles is a strategic and tactical game for two players. Each player leads an army fighting a fierce battle where only one can be the winner. Each army is split on three battalions (each composed of five units and a hero). The objective of the game is to defeat two opponent's heroes before he does. The game has two stages: - Set Up stage (Strategic) where players select the units that will compose his battalions from the units available to his chosen faction. - Battle stage (Tactical), where players play order cards on battalions in order to roll attack dice that will remove opponent's units until one of the defeat the opponent's army. On each turn, players place an order card face down on each battalion, then both players reveal the order cards and place on them a number of attack dice as a result of the order card played, matched units on the battalion, and special powers of the card. Those dice are rolled and assigned to units on the opponent's battalion. If an unit gets more dice than its morale the unit is removed from the battalion.
