Read the full game description

DC Comics Dice Masters: War of Light is a two-player collectible dice-building game centered on the Green Lantern mythos. Each player brings a team of DC heroes and villains represented by character cards and custom dice. During play, rolled energy purchases more dice, fields characters, and powers actions, while character faces attack, block, and trigger abilities. Bought dice cycle through the bag, used pile, prep area, reserve pool, and field, so every turn reshapes the probabilities of the next. The standalone starter set supplies the rules, basic action cards, sidekicks, dice bags, and enough character dice to begin play, while booster content can expand the roster. Victory goes to the first player who reduces the opposing life total to zero.
