Die in the Dungeon is a turn-based strategy game about a frog fighting its way down through a dungeon. Instead of cards, you build your hand from dice and place them on a board to battle enemies. Working out where each die does the most good is the heart of the game.
How to play
Each fight takes place on a diamond-shaped grid between your frog and an enemy. A row of coloured dice sits at the bottom of the screen, and you use these on the grid before pressing the Finish button to end your turn. Your frog's health appears in a red twenty-sided die shape, and the enemy has its own number with a sword icon beside it, which seems to show what it is about to do.
The top corner shows which floor you are on and a timer. Win the fight to move further down the dungeon.

Tips
- Look at the number and sword icon beside the enemy before you place your dice, so you know what is coming.
- Keep an eye on your frog's health in the red die at the top left.
- Check every die in your row before pressing Finish, as each colour may do something different.
- There is no rush to act: take time to plan each turn, even though a timer is shown.
Who it's for
Suits older children, teens and parents who enjoy slow, thoughtful strategy games. It looks easy to start but likely needs planning and some trial and error to get far.
