Players are thrust into a world of fantasy and science fiction where they will bring a team of diverse characters to the pitch of DIE Ball.
The realm of DIE Ball is at the nexus of disparate universes where anything in any form can and does exist. From the familiar to the furthest reaches of the imagination, species of all manner of man and beast have adopted a common sport known as DIE Ball.
DIE Ball is a 2 player head-to-head game of everything from hand and tableau management, to bluffing and betting, to area control, all trying to score just 7 points, or have the high score when the clock runs out.
Players will compete to push the die across the scoring line, scoring as many points as the die's value. Meanwhile, the other player will try to stop them with special abilities, timely dice rolls, and maintaining control of the field.
Step one: The Offense sets their plan. The Offensive player will select their cards to contribute to one of three plays - run, kick, or throw.
After each of three selections the Defensive player will make a secret bet, trying to guess which play the Offense will eventually choose.
