About This Game

Avast ye! Dice Captain is a pirate roguelike about managing luck. Every sailor on your ship brings their own die, and every battle is decided by what you do with the roll you get.

Battles are turn-based. You roll, look at what the dice gave you, and figure out how to make it work. Pick who acts, decide what to spend and what to save, and use talismans and one-time cards to nudge a result when it really matters. A bad roll isn't the end of the fight. It's the puzzle.

Battles are turn-based. You roll, look at what the dice gave you, and figure out how to make it work. Pick who acts, decide what to spend and what to save, and use talismans and one-time cards to re-roll when it really matters. A bad roll isn't the end of the fight. It's the puzzle.

Every sailor has a job and a die to match. Sharpshooters hit hard, carpenters keep the hull together, and the rest of the crew fills the gaps. Hiring the right people is the first big decision of every run, and the wrong crew can sink you before you see the first island.

Artifacts, talismans and sailors all play off each other. Stack the right ones and your ship starts doing things it probably shouldn't. Find a build that breaks the game, then throw it away and try something completely different next run.

Between runs you can permanently upgrade the faces on your sailors' dice. Swap a weak side for a strong one and the odds slowly shift your way. Run after run, pure chance turns into something you actually control.

Every voyage is a new map of islands, storms and strange encounters. Follow quest lines, make calls that can come back to bite you, and decide how much treasure is worth the risk. Get too greedy and something much bigger than your ship will come looking for you.
