About the game

Dungeons & Dragons Dice Masters: Battle for Faerûn brings the collectible dice-building system to the Forgotten Realms, letting two players build parties of adventurer dice - kobolds, beholders, mind flayers, dragons, drow, and more - to battle head-to-head. Rolling dice each turn generates resources used to buy new dice, field party members, and strike at the enemy warlord, with variable player powers letting decks specialize around favorite fantasy archetypes. As a starter set it plays standalone, while booster packs and expansions grow the collection over time. It shares its core dice-building system with the Marvel and DC Dice Masters lines.

Hobbli's Notes

Like its Justice League counterpart, this Dice Masters set delivers tight two-player battles steeped in Forgotten Realms flavor. We appreciate the tactical depth the dice-building system offers in such a short playtime. Best enjoyed by players willing to grow their collection over time.

What we like

  • Deep Forgotten Realms lore gives strong thematic appeal to D&D fans.
  • Variable player powers allow for varied team-building strategies.
  • Quick, tactical two-player battles fit within a 60-minute session.
  • Complete standalone starter set needs no prior collection.

Keep in mind

  • Collectible format means growing your collection requires additional purchases.
  • Limited strictly to two players.
  • Dice-based resource generation introduces luck some strategy players may dislike.

Who it's for
