About this board game

Thrash’n Roll is a dice-and-card board game for 2–4 players, with games lasting around 90 minutes. Released in 2015, it puts each player in command of a metal band competing to gather the most fame.

Across 6–8 turns, you guide your musicians through the highs and hazards of a life in metal. Train your band members, perform concerts in clubs, record albums, and give interviews while competing with other players for fans.

  • Command a chosen metal band
  • Train band members and give club concerts
  • Record albums and give interviews
  • Compete for fans and avoid scandals
  • Use dice and cards throughout the game

The game’s mechanisms are based on dice and cards, giving your band’s progress a distinctly unpredictable rhythm. Every turn contributes to the fame race, as players pursue success while dealing with the challenges that can accompany a musician’s career.

Thrash’n Roll builds toward a dramatic conclusion: the big concert and the ThrashAwards ceremony. These honors celebrate the best musicians, albums, and singles, providing a fitting finale for the bands’ competition.

Whether your musical allegiance lies with pounding drums, ringing strings, headbanging, or pogo, the goal remains the same: gather as much fame as possible before the final ceremony. Bring your metal band to the stage and see which players can turn their dice, cards, and performances into lasting recognition.
