Here are the rules. Dice Forge is a dice game where players roll dice to gain resources, forge new dice faces, and complete quests to earn points. Players must manage their resources wisely to gain the most points and become the greatest hero in the game.
Setup:
1.
Each player starts with 2 dice, a player board, and a set of resource tokens.
