«Throne of Cubes» — is a fast-paced gambling game where you will need to cleverly use cards and dice. A match lasts several rounds, during each of which you will roll your hero's dice up to 3 times, and then use the combination of symbols or numbers rolled to activate their abilities and attack the opponent.
For a thousand years, the mad king has sat on the throne. Recently, he has grown bored and wants to find a rival equal to him in strength. But not everyone dares to fight the monarch himself... unless a good reward is promised. The winner of the duel will receive the throne - the pinnacle of ambition for warriors. In the past thousand tournaments, no one has managed to defeat the mad king - but hope is the substance that dies last. Once again, power-hungry individuals of all kinds and stripes are flocking to the capital.
Faith in Truth
One might think that the general idea of the monk and the paladin is the same. But in reality, they are used to acting differently. The monk spent his time before the battle in the temple, mastering the subtle science and studying energy. His style of attack may seem stealthy and even a bit sleepy - until the energy of chi fills his body and throws him into battle. He is unburdened by armor and weapons - a single confident move from him is enough to defeat an entire small army. The paladin, on the other hand, is an adept of the combat system "good must be with fists". He charges in with the only confidence that God will protect him.
The game is a duel but scales beautifully for a different number of players. Take several boxes from the series and play 2x2, 3x3, or even 2x2x2. The gameplay is very simple - roll the dice and get combinations that will allow you to activate one of the abilities. Upgrade abilities, play action cards. And try to survive - the player who loses all health will leave the arena feet first, and there can be no talk of any throne.
This is a standalone game for two players. It can be combined with other parts of the "Throne of Cubes" series to get more interesting combinations and increase the possible number of players.
