Strike

About this board game

Strike is a 15-minute dice game for 2–5 players in which everyone races to be the last player still holding dice.

The game is played in an arena made from the game box and its insert. At the beginning of the game, one die is placed in the arena. On an active player’s turn, they throw another die into the arena and check the results.

If both dice show the same number, the active player must take those dice out of the arena, ending the turn. When there is no match, the player faces a choice: throw in another die, possibly trying to overturn dice already in the arena, or end the turn.

• Throw dice into the arena and look for matching numbers.
• Choose whether to continue throwing or stop your turn.
• Remove dice showing the X face or dice that fall out of the arena.
• Avoid running out of dice before your opponents do.

The X face removes a die from the game, while any die that falls outside the arena is also removed. These results can reduce a player’s supply, making every throw part of the race to survive.

A player with no dice left is eliminated. Turns continue until only one player still has dice, and that player wins. With its compact arena, simple matching rule, and push-your-luck decision each turn, Strike offers a quick contest where every additional throw can change the situation.
