D-Day Dice: Free Trial Version

About this board game

D-Day Dice: Free Trial Version is a cooperative World War II dice game for 1–4 players, with games lasting about 20 minutes. Set during the Normandy landings on June 6, 1944, it places players in the role of American soldiers facing a deadly German machine-gun nest.

Each player begins with a small unit and no equipment. As the game progresses, players collect resources, strengthen their forces, and advance across the beach sector by sector. The objective is to organize an improvised attack and overcome the machine-gun nest before the unit is destroyed.

Although dice rolling is central to play, D-Day Dice focuses on thoughtful resource management and timing. Soldiers, specialists, items, and courage are kept from turn to turn, allowing players to plan ahead and decide when to move forward.

• Cooperative play: Players work together and must help one another to survive.
• Simultaneous turns: Everyone plays at the same time, keeping the action moving.
• Resource management: Gather and preserve soldiers, specialists, items, and courage.
• Solo option: Optional solitaire rules support playing alone.
• Two battle maps: The Free Trial Version includes “Exercise Tiger” and “Omaha Beach.”

Every advance brings the soldiers closer to their objective, but the assault remains dangerous. Players must coordinate their growing units, share support, and judge when their resources are strong enough to risk the next sector.

This Free Trial Version offers a focused introduction to the cooperative dice and resource-management systems of D-Day Dice, with two battle maps representing the struggle on the Normandy beaches.
