Marvel Dice Throne Board Game Review

Marvel Dice Throne is a head-to-head dice and card battling game that can be aptly described as battle Yahtzee. After all, its core mechanism is rolling five dice up to three times and choosing which ones to keep with each roll. Accurate as the comparison may be, simply calling the game battle Yahtzee doesn't truly do it justice. There is much more to the game than just that.
