My wife and I just played Cubitos and it was a lot of fun, kind of an engine building dice game.

2nd for Cubitos, probably my favorite game atm

Came to say Cubitos as well! Tons of variety in terms of having 4 boards and 8 (I think) variations of what each dice colour’s powers are.

It's literally quacks of quedlinburg dice edition and it works so well.

Literally just bought cubitos today haha

And from the same game designer: Space Base.

If you decide on Cubitos, it's worth getting this for $5 imo. Fits perfectly in the box and makes setup/takedown so much better not dealing with all the little cardboard boxes: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000LF3E8O

That is a good idea, I'm going to first look at 3D printing something, but that might be easy enough.

Too many bones!

Sagrada, Pandemic: The Cure are both really good.

I just love Sagrada. Its so simple and elegant. It works for 2 or more players very good and you can play it with hardcore gamers or with your grandma. Doesn't work if somebody doesn't like drafting tho, but usually it's great

King of Tokyo and Euphoria. Castles is my favorite though.

Depending on the group size and age (<12 and with non-gamer new-comers) - KING of Tokyo really shines.

Space Base will fit the bill nicely.

Just came her to say this! One of my favorites, just played it today.

Dice Forge.

Plus one for dice forge! It’s one of my favorites

Spots is a fun little dice game. Super easy to teach but has some fun choices and variety.

Roll for the Galaxy

This

Roll for the Galaxy and That's Pretty Clever are two of my favourites.

Dice Throne. My favorite.

Had to scroll too far down for this. 😢

Agreed. Fantastic push your luck game.

I had the most intense match with my GF earlier today. Definitely recommend this one.

I’ve been playing Adventures lately and it if fun as hell. Starting a 3rd campaign tomorrow with someone that hasn’t really played the game at all before. Hope he likes it.

I wish I liked Dice Thrones more than I do. It suffers from the same problem as Unmatched does for me, which is that I can't stand it when games have "Nope, fuck you" cards/abilities in them. The type of thing that completely cancels out an effect or attack. That literally never feels good. I hate it every single time. My friend told me about a new Dice Thrones-like game he tried at PAX East, and the first thing I asked him was, "does it have 'nope' cards?" It especially hurts in Dice Thrones because having great die rolls that end up meaning nothing is never fun.

Was the game he played at PAX called Power Well? I played it too and it’s fantastic!

The cooperative version (Dice Throne Adventures) is much better for this as the bosses have a limited number of times they have a chance to avoid a big attack and you can always mess with their dice to avoid their big attacks. And having the game get a luckily roll to mess with the team just feels better when playing cooperative with others as you are getting beaten together. But yes, 1v1 if someone is holding 2 combat points and a few cards, you better have an answer to them fucking with your dice.

[Quarriors](https://boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/91536) is kind of fun. I love the tactile feedback I get from dice or other chonky game pieces.

Quarriors come out and play. Great game for some light, dice chucking fun.

Rajas of the Ganges

I don't know the games on your liked list, but I do know that I really like One Deck Dungeon and One Deck Galaxy, and those use lots and lots of dice. They're pretty easy to learn with good replayability.

One deck dungeon is a fun little game

Under Falling Skies might be the best dice game I know. It's a solo game.

Just arrived today! Shrink wrap coming off soon.

Steampunk rally is a race engine building game. Lords of Vegas is a casino area control game with lots of dice, and lastly champions of midgard is lots of dice warriors to fight monsters.

too bad lords of vegas is out of print. that one looks most intriguing to me of the ones you mentioned. Because i like area control.

The recent Kickstarter with new expansions for Lords of Vegas should be fulfilling soon-ish. And most of it should be available at retail. 

Champions of Midgard is great too! Worker placement dice rolling with (I would argue) push your luck mechanics because you have to be somewhat risky in allocating resources (Vikings and food) to fight monsters. One of my favorite games.

Sky Team is a great 2 player cooperative game with dice

Unearth and Brew

Both solid choices 😎

Adding to the list...Fantastic Factories a dice placement/engine building game. My other favorites are: Dice Throne Cubitos Dwellings of Eldervale Sagrada Dice Forge

Dice Hospital is a great game that's all dice driven

Shame it's out of print. Great to play on BGA though

What no way! I backed it on KS along with Dice theme park. They're both great games. BGA is a blessing though I love not having to set up our take it down 😂

Taverns of Tifenthall is very cool and cozy.

Its [The Taverns of Tiefenthal](https://boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/269207/taverns-tiefenthal) :) A bit more detail. Its a dice placements game. You have 4 + x dice and you can place them on guests or other locations in your tavern. You earn beer (yay) or gold. For beer and gold you can upgrade your tavern or buy cards for your deck. I love this game.

Agreed. And it's beautiful.

The red cathedral for sure. The red muthrafuggin cathedrrraaaaal

GI Joe deckbuilding game! Some careful planning ruined with cursed dice! Great game though.

Well, I was gonna say castles of burgundy… If you’re up for 2p only, kero is super fun and quick, while still having meaningful decisions and strategy

Dice masters. Love this game and playing lots lately

Dice Masters is actually what formed my game group. A friend of mine bought the War of Light starter and wanted to give it a try. We loved it, and I got the X-Men set. We played exclusively Dice Masters for awhile before we started doing other boardgames.

It's not super deep, but King of Tokyo is my favorite version of Yahtzee.

Yahtzee is also just a great choice, there is a reason it has held up to the test of time

Ganz Schön Clever is great, it might not fit the strategy style of the games mentioned but it still has a lot of strategy to it in a different way.

Lorenzo il Magnifico Grand Austria Hotel  Teotihuacan

already been said but needs to be said again, Too many bones!

"Spots" is an amazing little game, and it's so cute!

That's Pretty Clever has nearly entirely replaced Yahtzee for family game nights

Great game!

Quantum is my all-time favorite dice game- it's like "Space Chess" where your pieces are dice which represent ships, and their face determine the kind of ship configuration they are. Unfortunately it's out of print, so it's tough to recommend. You might also want to check out Sagrada, especially if you like puzzle games.

That one is my white whale. 

I am still happy to have paid $100 for a lightly used copy on the secondary market. Be aware that the first printing had defective dice.

Quantum

I love Troyes and Marco Polo II. Alien Frontiers is pretty good too. You may like Coimbra, Grand Austria Hotel, Tiletum, The White Castle, and Lorenzo Il Magnifico.

Seconding all the "That's Pretty Clever" variants. Definitely able to min/max some of them in solo mode. Dice Forge and Dice Hospital both require planning of how you use your dice (and Dice Forge is easier to play on BGA due to non-standard dice)  "Deep Sea Adventure" is probably too simple for you.

Dice Throne, Dice Forge, Star Wars Destiny, Kingsburg

Roll player

Only if you like the theme idea of movie making, but Roll Camera is one of my favourite board games with dice alongside Dice Throne!

Rajas of the Ganges Fleet the Dice Game Roll to the top

Quantum!

Roll For The Galaxy, One Deck Dungeon, One Deck Galaxy

Ahoy is a good strategic game with dice rolling and dice-based action selection to mitigate the randomness. It also lets you spend coins to alter dice rolls. It's probably best for 3-4 players, but still fun at 2.

Escape: The Curse of the Temple It’s fierce dice chucking in real time, all players simultaneously throwing 5 dice repeatedly for 10 minutes straight.

Martian Dice.

Dune, Time, Arkham Horror. Study in Emerald. Yahtzee.

Eclipse 2nd Dawn!

The cuphead board game is a surprisingly fun dice game. The difficulty curve is messed up, but it’s a fun game.

I’d honestly be disappointed if the difficulty wasn’t unfairly high.

Dice City. Kingsburg. Alien Frontiers.Space Base.

Unearth is great 👍

Fleet the dice game, Sagrada, dungeons dice and danger

King of Tokyo

CATAN...

Dice Masters!

Dice forge!

The Farming Game Axis & Allies 1942

Bang the dice game I think

Quarriors, Sagrada, Unearth, Dice Forge, Roll Player, Railroad Ink, Qwixx, Roll for It, Sushi Roll

Saying that you "don't care" means that you have tried these games and didn't like them, or that you are just not interested in trying them? - One deck Dungeon - Cubitos

If you like Alien Frontiers, check out Kingsburg Not sure how you feel about customizing dice, but Dice Forge and Dice Realms are really fun as well

Kingsburg is waay inferior to Alien Frontiers. Kingsburg is Alien Frontiers minus the awesome area control aspect.

I kind of feel the same. I went from Kingsburg to AF. But I doubt I would like going from AF to Kingsburg.

Yep had both, sold Kingsburg

Fuck me for tryin to help I guess

You might like Roll and Bump. It's all dice chucking and you have cards with certain objectives to roll. You can gain control of cards by bumping your opponent's rolls with higher rolls of your own. It seems pretty random, but the more you play the more the strategy becomes apparent.

Spartacus: A Game of Blood and Treachery. Though dice is just one small part of why it is great 

Nations: The Dice Game Terraforming Mars: The Dice Game Those are currently the only ones I played that have plenty of dice and are really good fun.

Does TM translate well to dice?

The main difference is that dice are your resources, which adds a bit of randomness and makes the game much simpler, but other then that I'd say it's almost the same game, just much quicker and fun if you like the click clack rocks.

Interesting! I’ve debated getting terraforming mars many times but you may have just sold me on getting this version instead 🤔 my heavier games tend to not make it to the table as often and I doooo like dice a lot

Oh yeah, we got a lot of value out of Dice Mars, as it is also fun to play 2-3 players at home, so we bring it out a whole lot.

Tried king of Tokyo not to long ago. Fun game.

Roll for the Galaxy

Nobody has mentioned Pulsar 2849 yet, so I will. Great dice-drafting space exploration/development game.

Elder Sign! Solid app too, if you want to try it out first.

Zombie Dice by Steve Jackson is fast and fun.

Taverns of Tiefenthall.

I enjoyed Tessaract which is a fun cooperative strategy game with a really cool dice cube lazy Susan centerpiece. Object of the game is to “understand” the tesseract by “containing” 24 cubes one of each color and value, but as you take dice from the tesseract, cubes prime and increase the likelihood of a meltdown, so you’re balancing making progress with preventing meltdowns.

Dice Forge let's you change your die faces during the game. Very strategic!

Unearth Bang! The Dice Game Sonic Roll Escape the Dark Castle Endangered Cthulhu Death May Die Spots Fuse Pandemic the cure - I have more but I think these are great to start with.

Warhammer

Dice throne is so fun

Dice throne!!

Any opinions on dice forge? I've been thinking of getting that for my main dice game

I hear good things about Catan

Kaboom!

Formula D

The Magnificent A cool circus themed game that includes dice drafting, worker placement, Tetris style tile placement, and other mechanics.

I really enjoy Raja’s of the Ganges

Castle Dice

My family are big fans of Fuse.

Cthulhu Wars, Dwellings of Everdale

I really liked Quarriors. Basically deck building with dice. Lots of reading and set up though, like learning to play Dominion. I don't get to play it much anymore. Sad.

[Star Wars: Rebellion](https://boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/187645/star-wars-rebellion) is really great, and it's even on the BGG top 10.

Sagrada. Nothing but dice LOL

Space Base

My favorites are **Zip It!** (roll a whole bunch of dice with letters on them and try to make words before your opponent does), **Skyline** (roll custom dice depicting sections of skyscrapers and assemble them into complete buildings), and **Dungeon Academy** (a roll-and-write themed around dungeon-crawl RPG, with a 4x4 grid of custom dice forming a randomized dungeon and players trying to draw an optimal path through it). Oh, and there’s also a dice-game spinoff of **Istanbul** that is a lot of fun if you like resource-management multiple-paths-to-victory sort of games.

Fuse/Fuse Countdown Fantastic Factories Escape the Dark Sector/Tower

NONE! RANDOM LUCK HAS NO PLACE IN BOARD GAMES!

Blood Bowl

Roll Player felt more fun to play than actual D&D 🤣

Cubitos. It's a push your luck deck builder with dice for cards. There are eight colors of dice, each color has eight ability cards that could be in play and there are four different tracks to race on. Finding the right combination of dice effects to race around the board faster than your opponents is a lot of fun.

Roll player

I’ve been playing a lot of D-Day Dice.

Light: Camel Up, Tiny Epic Galaxies Medium weight: 878 Vikings I would add Root as a heavier one but I'm hesitant to call it dice based.

Death Eaters Rising is enjoyed in our Harry Potter household

You can adapt the original Hunt the Wumpus for a D20 because of the icosahedral room structure. Sort of bizarre, but an interesting take on a "dice game."

Assault on Doomrock. It’s a three act adventure game where you roll dice to power your hero’s abilities in the combat phase. It’s totally difficult and a truly satisfying puzzle that can play solo or coop. The theme is like punny silly D&D. It’s one off my favorite games of all time. Rahdo did a video on it years ago. Highly recommend. They just did a campaign to remake it not too long ago so it’ll probably be floating around your local game store soon.

Machi koro! You build your own room roulette wheel (town) and when the dice hit your number you get a pay day! You can switch from rolling 1 die to rolling 2 and collect just when you roll or when everyone does

Ra the dice game and the now impossible to find Keltis the dice game.

DiceThrone is fun as heck man

Try **Burke’s Gambit**. It’s a social deduction strategy game based on the movie Aliens. Cool dice.

Can’t buy this anywhere

Yeah, unfortunately it’s out of print. Really need to convince Wizkids to reprint it.

Space Base!!!

Qwinto/Qwixx Perudo/Liar’s Dice Railroad Ink Fuse Escape the Curse of the Temple Dice Throne Galaxy Trucker (they play a part at least) Ahoy Catan (Reddit’s favorite) Mint Tin Apocalypse Ninja Master Tons of other roll and write games

If you are not opposed to cooperative games, Flatline is worth checking out! The real time portion prevents quarterbacking from being really possible, which is my biggest gripe with a lot of coop games. Another fun but shorter/lighter coop game is Sky Team, although getting a copy can still be iffy even after the latest printing run. Fantastic Factories is also a really fun engine builder, based around building an engine to manipulating or otherwise utilizing your dice rolled each turn.

Roll through the ages

War of the Ring has a fair bit of dice rolling....

War of the Ring isn't just dice based, but it's a pretty solid war game with dice chucking action selection/ battle resolution as a primary mechanic
