This spring, WizKids Games’ releases its exciting, new Dice Masters dice building game platform created by renowned game designers Mike Elliott and Eric M. Lang. Marvel Dice Masters is a brand-new, easy-to-learn game platform of head-to-head game play and team customization featuring popular characters from the Marvel Universe. Field your team of iconic Heroes (and Villains!) from the Marvel Universe, each represented by custom tooled dice. Character cards associated with each set of custom dice impart special abilities for the characters - different versions of character cards found in the Starter set and Expansion Packs impart different abilities allowing for customization of your game play strategy. Dice in Expansion packs allow players to add more dice of their favorite Heroes into their team build. Fans of the Quarriors dice building game system will be familiar with the cycling of dice through your game area - the dice bag is your “deck” from which you draw your “hand” of dice. Roll energy to recruit Heroes or send your recruited Heroes to battle. Send Heroes to attack your opponent or keep some Heroes back to defend against your opponent’s attack. Dice Masters’ head-to-head game play is perfect for tournament play! With the release of Marvel Dice Masters, WizKids Games will be launching the Marvel Dice Masters Avengers vs. X-Men Storyline Organized Play (OP) event series. This 6-month Organized Play event follows the Marvel Avengers vs. X-Men storyline. Stores carrying Marvel Dice Masters will have the opportunity to purchase OP kits for each month of the event series that contain participation prizes for up to 10 players and an exclusive, alternate character card for the winner of the event. In the final month of the OP series, the player with the best overall record through the event series will be awarded a special Grand Prize - the Phoenix Force!

The monthly competitive prizes feature alternate artwork (selected specifically from the AvX series from Marvel Comics) that corresponds to characters (and dice!) from the AvX base set, and each of these alternate art competitive prizes also features new abilities for its corresponding character as well! Last and certainly not least, the monthly participation prizes are Basic Action Cards that feature all-new effects!
