The best games with dice rolling 🎲 2023

Looking for a really good game where you can throw dice 🎲? Then we have just the thing for you: The list with the best games where you roll the dice 2023.

What are dice rolling games?

A game mechanism where the dice are rolled in a game can be used for many things, the most obvious being chance. So, a fixed component of games on this list is that at least one die is included. However, rolling dice does not necessarily have to be the central game principle.

Different uses and types of dice

Dice can also be used as game pieces; for example, the piece starts with an energy value of 6 and is turned to 5 at the end of a round when it is a player's turn, and so on. The dice themselves can be quite individual in appearance and number of possibilities and can have different sizes, shapes and colors to represent different things. An unusual variant are for example the dice of Pass the Pigs - here small pig figures form the dice.

Dice rolling in Kreig games

In war games, dice are usually used in conjunction with a variety of tables, most notably a "battle result table" that gives a result by strengths of both sides (either as a ratio or as a differential) and a die roll (1D6, 2D6 and 1D10 are most commonly used).

Distinction from the category "dice games"

Rolling dice can be the central element of the game principle - and not just an accessory. As an example, consider Yahtzee. If these games are good enough for this list, we have mentioned them here as well... but we have created a separate category for the pure dice games: The best dice games 2023.

Examples of games where you can throw dice

A good example of a game where you can roll dice (but it's not the central element) is Wingspan. Here the dice are not always used, but are often needed for some degree of randomness.

Another example is The Quacks of Quedlinburg - here the player with the most points rolls the dice each round for his reward.
