About the game
In this interactive roll-and-write game, players draft dice and shoot torpedoes at their enemy submarine. The torpedoes are fired in the same formation as the pips shown on the dice. Players can modify their dice rolls in various ways after activating one or more of their submarine's systems, such as the engine or propeller. But these systems may not last long, as they are being targeted by the enemy. The first player to destroy all of their enemy's vital systems, without running out of spare torpedoes, is the winner. -description from designer

Questions and answers
Torpedo Dice 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 Torpedo Dice 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 Torpedo Dice for ages 8 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.
Torpedo Dice 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.
