Dice Crawl is a fast-paced dungeon-crawling tile board game for 2 to 4 players.
At the heart of the Dungeon lays the Eye of the Dragon. All of the great races seek it. It brings power to those who control it. Weakness to those who face it. The race to the Eye begins now.
Dice Crawl is a quick, fun dungeon-crawling tile game for 2 to 4 players. Players take on the roles of mercenary captains racing to get their team of adventurers to the center of the dungeon, while other captains race do the same thing. But, not all paths lead to the center and some teams may never find the glory they seek.
In Dice Crawl, players select a race and class for their mercenary captain before flipping tiles, rolling dice, and collecting their share of the dungeon treasure. Abstract game mechanics mix with flavorful graphics and theme to make dice crawl a fast, highly replayable game of luck and strategy.

Dice Crawl is played using a 5x5 grid of 25 dungeon tiles, each placed face down at the start of the game. Each tile is a room or corridor and when revealed they form a route through to the center of the dungeon.
Each player enters the playing area through one corner and they earn points by controlling tiles or by being the first to reach the center of the dungeon.
Control is obtained by rolling their dice and matching numbers on the tiles. But the same dice can alternatively be used to unlock race and class abilities, each of which can be very useful in helping the player control tiles, or hindering the other players in doing the same!
Strategy is required to consider a fine balance between the unique class and race abilities (which are randomly drawn and paired by players at the beginning of the game), and keeping enough dice back to control the tiles themselves.
Play proceeds until one player reaching the center tile or uses his/her last die. At this time points are counted for each tile controlled by each player and the highest points wins the game.
