What is "diceland"

Diceland may refer to:

• Diceland (dice game), a Cheapass game designed by Toivo Rovainen and James Ernest
• Diceland (tile game), a Kidult game designed by Spartaco Albertarelli

Diceland is a tile-based game designed by Spartaco Albertarelli and released in 2002 by Kidultgame. Players place hexagonal tiles to form a playing area. They then roll dice to form an army. The dice themselves form the soldiers in the army, and the number rolled is the strength of the soldier. As a result, in smaller games luck plays a large factor and the game can be very one-sided. Larger games tend to be more balanced, though it is not guaranteed.

Diceland is a tabletop game played with collectible sets of dice designed by Toivo Rovainen and James Ernest and released in 2002 by Cheapass Games. Players roll paper cut-out octahedral dice into a combat arena. The dice are then used in the same way as miniatures - they can be moved around the arena and attack other dice.

The original Diceland set was Diceland: Deep White Sea, released in 2002. It was followed in 2003 by four more sets: Diceland: Ogre, Diceland: Space (two sets, Terrans vs. Urluquai and Garthans vs. Muktians), and Diceland: Extra Space, and in 2005 with Diceland: Cyburg and Diceland: Dragons. There is also a set of Button Men using characters from the Deep White Sea setting. In addition to all of these sets, there are three regular-sized and one oversized promotional dice; the 2005 summer promo die features characters from the webcomic Penny Arcade.
