Please Explain Burn Dice And Some Thoughts

[molovian]

I seem to be having trouble understanding why I would burn dice. The dice in the dice bag don't have a reference to items so I am not really sure what I am burning or what happens when I burn dice. What does burning dice do for you overall. What is the advantage??? What is the effect??? Why would I do it. How does it effect equipment or what is the relationship to equipment.

I have tried burning dice and am not sure what it did and what I was missing or if I disadvantaged or advantaged myself so I am not sure about it in general or how it effected my gameplay.

I am also unsure how dice relate to items... I have 22 dice but 8 items so I am not sure how they relate or how they interact or what dice are what items...

Also, I don't make the connection to the graphics on the dice and the item cards and don't really know what the graphics relate to or mean. The dice have a graphic on the die and on the hover box, when I hover over the dice, there are a different set of graphics so I don't know what it all means or how the graphics differ. Aka an X on a die seems bad but the hover box seems to show dice that do something.

I see graphics on the character card, aka the skills, but the dice seem to have other graphics so I am never sure what the graphics mean or when I will be able to use them or how or where. I am also unsure what things do. It seems like I am getting abilities around the top right of the character card but there is no text to describe what action will happen when I click them so I just click them to see what happens and rarely get the idea of it so I am never sure if what I am picking up has more value than it seems as I don't know what they will do.

So I guess I need a run down of the UI, in general, and having Hover Text more often would be nice aka the items page doesn't have hover text on the graphics to know what they do.

So, overall a help area and more hover text would be interesting to describe things like these that don't feel intuitive and I feel like I am guessing.

I would note that abilities don't always seem useful and I am not always sure how they are used as they seem to disappear, maybe, I could assume, they are automatically used to block attacks but am unsure.

*EDIT*

I did find the how to play and the Question mark both of which sort of allude to my questions but don't really answer them. Plus having to go back to refer to the question mark is annoying when there could be hover text as I can never remember the descriptions and have to keep referring to them. Extra clicks are always annoying...

Hi,
The game has a "DiceBuilding" mechanic, based on boardgames like "Quarriors" and "Marvel Dice Masters". It's similar to "Deckbuilding" but with dice. You start with a basic dice deck (white color) and some equipment that varies according to the chosen class. The amount of dice in your bag does not equal the amount of equipment because basic (white) dice do not count as equipment. That's why you have less equipment than you have in the bag at the beginning of the game. The goal is to upgrade this dice deck more and more, to make it stronger. When you pick up new equipment, it's linked to a die, then you add that die to your dice deck, then you have the option of burning an old die. The advantage of this is that the more dice you have in your bag, the longer it will take to pick up and roll the "good" dice that are equipment. So as you burn the old, worse dice, the faster you can pick up and roll the new, stronger dice. Of course, you have the option to keep all the dice but it's not recommended due to the reason I explained above.
In the most I strongly recommend that you read the "How to play" calmly because there it explains better about how the game works. And about the other skills of the dice you can consult during the battle in the "?"

Thanks for playing Dice & Dungeons!

Thanks for the info.

Watch out if you get 30 dice because if you don't burn any, you can never get any new ones. Wish there was a way to burn dice if you are at max.
