Dunderheads is the chaotic, fun mashup of deck-building strategy and Yahtzee-style dice rolling you never knew you needed. Choose your hero, build your deck, and face off against monsters (and each other) to earn point cards! It's an easy-to-learn card and dice game where you roll, reroll, and combo your way to victory! Designed for quick games, perfect for younger players and those who don't want to spend an hour learning the rules. Choose a hero that matches your play style. Want all the cards? Choose the Squire who can hold 6 cards. More interested in hitting harder without managing cards? The Golem is a perfect choice. Collect item cards that compliment your hero and luck tolerance. Item cards require different dice combos and the dice used are not standard d6 dice. Each has modified odds with "1's" being the most common while "3's" the most rare. As you collect item cards, you must balance dice quantity with roll difficulty. Battle Monsters to earn point cards by dealing more damage than the health displayed on the card. Damage is dealt by completing dice combos on items cards within 3 dice rolls. Collect 10 points worth of defeated monsters first to win! -description from the designer
