Play as a magical die in this ‘dice-builder’ RPG where each of your faces casts a different spell! Discover and combine new spells as you explore a world of eccentric animate board game tokens, all fighting for the affections of the Gods of the Tabletop.

Play as a fully-customisable magical die, equipped with unique spells on each of your faces that you cast with every step.
Customise your die with the multitude of game-changing spells and upgrades you’ll discover as you roll along. Define your own unique build to face the obstacles in your path, perfecting your playstyle and putting it to the test.

Journey through a land of living game pieces, both friend and foe, to stand before the Gods of the Tabletop and reclaim that which has been discarded. Are you worthy of the grace of the gods? …Are they worthy of you?
From the fallen kingdom of the dominoes to the stacked streets of Casina City, all factions live uncertain lives under the whims of their arbitrary gods.

Each new spell, enemy, and obstacle you encounter adds a new layer of complexity to the dice-builder game system for you to manipulate.
Awaken the obelisks hidden in the corners of this world to challenge yourself with focused challenges to perfect every part of your mastery of the die.
Compete with other players to find the most efficient solutions to the challenges on our demo, with a new challenge dropping every fortnight!
