Every component has its own place in the custom molded insert, and when it’s all put away, everything is nice and tight and nothing should move around in it. This board then fits in a sleeve which keeps everything from falling out of place in the box. I’ll admit I didn’t pay much more attention to it because as soon as I saw the customizable dice, I just started to play with them!īe sure to set aside about 20 minutes to set up the game when you first open the box, you will have to sort all the individual dice faces out and place them on the temple board. The best player will get a chance to become a demigod as a reward. The players are pitted against each other in a tournament being set up for the Gods enjoyment. In Dice Forge, players take on the role of aspiring demigods. Throw in a game mechanic which has always intrigued me (dice/deck crafting), and this was a must try for me this summer. When I heard that he was behind this new game, I was definitely interested.
