«Throne of Cubes» — is a fast-paced gambling game where you will need to wisely use cards and dice. A game lasts several rounds, during 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 challenger equal to him in strength. But not everyone will dare to fight the monarch himself... unless a good reward is promised. The winner of the duel will receive the throne - the dream of ambitious warriors. In the thousand tournaments that have passed, no one has managed to defeat the mad king - but hope is the very substance that dies last. And once again, power-hungry individuals of all varieties and hues are flocking to the capital.
In this duel, two powerful characters will face off. The Barbarian stands out for his strength and assertiveness, and his advantage reveals itself in close combat, where he can chop at the opponent with his axe. The Elf is much more cautious. The maiden is used to moving silently through the night forest, so as not to scare off her prey, and now she uses her agility, fluidity, and trusty bow even in a direct encounter. Who will win? It depends only on you.
The game is a duel, but it scales wonderfully to 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 allow you to activate one of the abilities. Improve abilities, play action cards. And try to survive - the player who loses all their health will leave the arena feet first, and there will be no talk of a throne.
This is a standalone game for two players. It can be combined with other parts of the "Throne of Cubes" series to obtain more interesting combinations and increase the possible number of players.
