Villages: Power Dice is an expansion for Villages released in 2014 for 2–6 players and ages 8 and up. It was designed by Jaron Frost and its main mechanics are Variable Player Powers, Hand Management, and Set Collection.
Power Dice are an optional component of Villages that adds a bit more luck and drama to each battle. Each time two units face off on the battlefield, each participating player rolls one of these dice and adds the value to their unit's power. Each set of dice also comes with a bonus Gambler card whose ability is based on a roll of the dice.

Some setups, rules and scoring details may still vary by player count, so check your edition’s rulebook for the exact configuration.
