Pros

  • Games in my collection that play up to 6 or more that get a decent amount of table time are Planet Unknown, Ethnos, Dice Throne, Mysterium, and Camel Up.
  • Christmas Boop, Dice Throne; Santa vs. Krampus, Holly Jolly and for Solo: Final Girl: The North Pole Nightmare
  • Dice throne would be a nice addition, if kids understand how Yahtzee works, it should be fine for dice throne.
  • Dice throne and the inserts for the game are another shout out I’ll give. It’s got everything for your character right there and it’s so easy for anyone to set it up and tear it down.
  • Here's some of my favorites games to assist in recs *Battle games* Dice throne

Cons

  • Dice Throne has a lot of fiddly rules, timing phases, and things. I think a motivated 10 year old could learn to play either of these games, but if you're not sure how much he'll take to it or you won't be helping him learn, they may be...
  • In Dice Throne beginners often make terrible decisions (going for 6s with no card support) and sometimes they just get rewared for yolo play due to the nature of the dice :D
  • I own both and am honestly considering getting rid of Dice Throne. ... Dice Throne just takes up so much space on my shelf and I get a lot more satisfaction from a game of Tag Team.
  • I've played Dice Thrones 3 or 4 times, and each time I've played I've had to look up some odd interaction that the rulebook doesn't make explicitly clear. ... If I have to do it several times every time I play the game, though, and that'...
  • I own both and found i had to look up rules in the rulebook or online for Dice Throne a lot. They have a dedicated "app"/website so I'm not the only one. Just be prepared for lots of edge cases.

Dice Throne has a lot of fiddly rules, timing phases, and things. I think a motivated 10 year old could learn to play either of these games, but if you're not sure how much he'll take to it or you won't be helping him learn, they may be a little much.

Dice Throne is a bit unique. You can each have a full character setup that doesn't rely on any other player's setup. So we each stream our board so we can see what the other is doing. It's pretty fun and not too involved to setup.

Dice Throne, for example, is largely based on dice rolls (hence the name), but the game offers multiple ways of combating RNG: * You have 2 re-rolls each turn, and you can re-roll some or all of your dice. * You can use one-time card effects to manipulate your or the opponent's roll. * You don't need to roll perfectly. Sometimes three or even two correct symbols is enough to trigger an attack. * You have multiple options to decide what your "roll goal" is.
