«Throne of Cubes» — is a fast-paced gambling game where you will need to cleverly use cards and dice. The game 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 your opponent.
For a thousand years, the mad king has sat on the throne. Recently, he has grown bored and wants to find an opponent equal to his strength. But not everyone dares to face the monarch himself... unless a good reward is promised. The winner of the duel will gain the throne - the ultimate dream of ambitious warriors. In the past thousand tournaments, no one has managed to defeat the mad king - but hope is just the matter that dies last. Once again, power-hungry individuals of all sorts and colors are flocking to the capital.
Two radically different opponents will clash this time in the battle for the throne. The pyromancer is used to leaving behind only scorched earth, unrestrained in the use of power. The opponent must turn into a pile of ash and never again desecrate life with their presence. The shadow thief acts more cautiously - trying not to catch the enemy's eye unnecessarily, they will slyly strike from the night and leave the opponent bleeding, which thickens more under the influence of poison from the poisoned blade.
The game is designed for duels but scales perfectly 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 series "Throne of Cubes" to get more interesting combinations and increase the possible number of players.
