About this board game
Spicy Dice is a press-your-luck dice game for 1–4 players, playable in about 30 minutes. Roll special six-sided dice, choose when to stop, and try to make every roll count before your shared game limit runs out.
Each turn begins with all six dice. Set aside the results you want to keep, then reroll the rest as many times as you dare. Any die showing a red face can be rotated to the side you choose—or left unchanged—giving you another way to shape the results in front of you.
The game allows a maximum of thirty dice rolls over the entire game, so every reroll matters. You can stop at any point during your turn and record the dice in one of ten scoring fields, balancing immediate points against the risk of chasing a better combination.
- Score numbers 1–6, with the matching red die doubling your score when present.
- Complete a straight or collect sets.
- Score red dice or use a field for whatever combination you happen to have.
The six included dice each have one face with red pips instead of white. One die carries a red 1, another a red 2, and so on through red 6, making the special faces easy to identify while you plan your scoring opportunities.
Fill all ten fields before using the maximum number of rolls and you gain 5 points for every unused roll. Spicy Dice rewards careful timing, flexible choices, and the confidence to stop before a promising score turns into a missed opportunity. Whoever finishes with the most points wins.
