In the case of this review, I’m digging into the overall Dice Throne game system and the four hero box, which includes Thor, Loki, Scarlet Witch, and Spider-Man. But I should note that they are all cross-compatible, and characters from any set can be pitted against one another. Marvel Dice Throne is my first introduction to the series. Card play is also at hand, as you’re able to spend combat points to play cards that alter die rolls, upgrade abilities, and gain various other effects. While every character follows the same basic principle of rolling dice, they are exceptionally asymmetric in how they use those dice.
Players take the role of characters such as Scarlet Witch, and Thor. You can find a video version of this review on my YouTube Channel! Brother versus brother. There is much more to the game than just that. Accurate as the comparison may be, simply calling the game battle Yahtzee doesn’t truly do it justice. After all, its core mechanism is rolling five dice up to three times and choosing which ones to keep with each roll. Marvel Dice Throne is a head-to-head dice and card battling game that can be aptly described as battle Yahtzee.
