Playmates Toys brings a superhero twist to the classic fun of throwing dice with its all-new Battle Dice game. Available in stores now, the expandable and collectible gaming platform will feature more than 65 iconic heroes and villains torn from the pages of Marvel and DC Comics. Battle Dice’s comic-book-inspired game board combines patented “pop dice” with action figure role-playing, featuring a wide array of hugely-popular characters such as Spider-Man, the X-Men, Superman, Batman, and more. Encouraging players to create an unstoppable army based on the powers of each hero or villain, the action figures play an integral role in a player’s battle strength; with varying degrees of rarity, the characters allow for depth, interactivity and unlimited collectability in a classic “war game.”

Players battle by loading their dice with action figures, then rolling simultaneously with their opponents. The player with the lowest number selects the attribute to be used and the battle begins! Each battle can involve one, two or many characters in a player’s army and victory depends on each character’s strengths versus those of the opposing forces, meaning figures must be strategically selected before each battle. With every roll of the dice, the lives of your characters are at stake because defeat means surrendering your figure to the opponent’s army. The first player to collect all of the opponents’ figures wins the war and the game. Game extensions included in the instructions make the game more complex and intriguing. Battle Dice product includes in a Starter Pack, Booster Pack and Dice Launcher as well as other Marvel and DC Comic accessories.
