About the game
IRONDIE uses combinations of nine different types of dice, each available in eight different colors, which allows for endless possibilities in terms of personalized sets so that you can surprise your friends with new tactics and combinations. IRONDIE dice are beautifully crafted and can also be used with existing board games, roleplaying games, or miniatures wargames. IRONDIE dice are made of silver-plated Zamac (an alloy with a base metal of zinc and alloying elements of aluminium, magnesium and copper; the first limited edtion was made of white metal) and covered with a colored translucent paint to highlight their metal luster. Their mass is much more substantial than any plastic or resin die resulting in a better gaming feel and experience. IRONDIE is not a difficult game, but the difference between playing and mastering it lies in the player's experience. A champion will have well-composed sets of dice and know how best to make use of them.

Questions and answers
IRONDIE supports 2 players according to the catalogue. This is the publisher’s listed player count, so the game is designed for exactly that number of participants. Variants for other group sizes, if any, are described in the rulebook of your edition, so check it before setting up a different configuration.
The listed playing time for IRONDIE is 15 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 IRONDIE for ages 13 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.
IRONDIE has a complexity rating of 2.1 out of 5 from BoardGameGeek players, which makes it a medium-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.
