The principle and objective of the game

Darwin’s Dice is a simple, fast-paced trump card game, where two dice set the conditions of every turn. You’ll need both a tactical approach as well as a fair amount of luck. Two to four players meet in this game for a struggle for sheer survival. Only the player who’s best prepared and whose cards match the conditions can obtain the opponents’ cards and collect points.

Darwin’s dice

Two dice dictate the natural history of the game. To emerge victorious you have to play the cards according to their attributes. The dice do not only determine if higher or lower numbers have an advantage but also which card acts as the trump – or apex predator.

The cards

Teeth and sharp senses are necessary to become a feared hunter. The main actors in Darwin’s Dice are the fox, the lion and the bear. But it’s not only size that matters. The dice choose one of them to become the apex predator and therefore practically invincible.

The special cards

They are toxic and insidious. Venomous snakes and scorpions lurk in the undergrowth to disturb the players at any given chance. An unexpected attack is all it takes to destroy the collected points of another player in this round.

But that’s not all: the next deadly hunter is waiting in the treetops. With sharp senses owls attack quick as lightning from the sky and strike down their opponents with their mighty talons.
