About this board game
Die of the Dead is a Day of the Dead-themed dice-rolling game for 2–5 players, with games lasting about 50 minutes. Players become friendly spirits guiding souls from Mictlán, the world of the dead, through nine levels toward the land of the living.
To advance, players choose, manipulate, and roll caskets containing dice that represent the souls on their journey. Each roll brings the hope of progress, while also calling for a little luck as players work toward reaching the final level.
Players can draw on several Day of the Dead symbols to help guide the souls:
- Candles
- Incense
- Marigolds
- Bread of the Dead
The first player to guide souls up all nine levels and back to the land of the living wins. This gives every turn a clear purpose as players manage their caskets and seek the rolls they need to continue their journey.
Die of the Dead features beautiful Mexican art inspired by the tales and culture surrounding Día de Muertos. Care has been taken to make the experience fun while remaining respectful to its roots, combining a distinctive theme with dice manipulation and a touch of chance.
