About Dice With Death
Dice With Death is a dice‑poker style strategy game where you face a mysterious entity called Death. You collect dice and paired relics, using them to build increasingly powerful roll combinations while managing risk.
Points you bank become damage against your opponent, but pushing your luck can cause you to lose everything. The game offers unlockable classes, relics, and dialogue paths that shape each playthrough.
01 / THE GUIDE
Core Gameplay
The central loop revolves around rolling dice in a poker‑like fashion, then deciding whether to bank points as damage or continue rolling for higher scores. Each decision balances reward against the risk of losing the accumulated points.
Progress is measured by the damage you deal to Death, and the game ends when you either defeat the foe or lose all points by over‑extending your rolls.
- Observe how quickly points grow before committing to bank them.
- Compare early rolls to later ones to gauge when risk outweighs reward.

Dice and Relics
You acquire new dice and their paired relics, which modify how rolls behave and add layers of complexity. Relics act as modifiers that can warp the outcome of a roll, creating more powerful combinations.
Collecting these items expands the strategic options available, letting you experiment with different roll patterns and risk levels.
- Track which relics give the biggest impact on roll outcomes.
- Test different dice‑relic pairings to see how they change your strategy.

Classes
Unlockable classes each have a core mechanic that influences how you approach dice rolls and point banking. Choosing a class changes the underlying strategy without altering the basic roll‑bank loop.
Experimenting with multiple classes lets you discover which core mechanic best matches your risk tolerance and play style.
- Play several classes to compare how their core mechanics affect risk.
- Note which class lets you bank points more consistently.

Dialogue Paths
Interaction with Death includes dialogue choices that can influence the outcome of a session. Different paths may affect the narrative tone and potentially the difficulty of subsequent rolls.
These branches add a layer of storytelling to the strategic core, giving players a reason to replay for varied conversations.
- Pay attention to how dialogue choices shift the tone of the game.
- Try alternative dialogue routes to see if they affect roll difficulty.
