About the Game

Dicewayfarer is a dice-building roguelike where every run begins as a 5×5 puzzle of 25 random dice.

Twenty-five dice are placed at random, and you’re given only a limited number of swaps. Work within that limit to refine the board, create as many powerful dice hands as possible, and deal massive damage in a single turn.

Your board’s rows and columns start locked. The more lines you unlock, the more places you can trigger hand effects—and the more attacks you gain. Hands don’t have to stop at one: complete multiple lines at once to increase your damage and extend your combo.

Your dice grow in many different ways. Shape their roles with skins, symbols, and engravings, then push your build further with Number Upgrades and Hand Upgrades to make your favorite combos appear more often. Add items and consumables to create powerful synergies with your dice and bring down even the toughest enemies.

One swap can change everything. Complete multiple lines at once and unleash a barrage of attacks.
