Iron Dice

"If the iron dice must roll, may God help us." — Theobald von Bethmann-Hollweg, Chancellor of Germany, August 1914

Iron Dice is a grand strategy game about the moment diplomacy fails and empires fracture.

The old empire has collapsed. Thirty kingdoms stand in its ruins, each with its own culture, economy, and ambitions. Choose one. Rebuild the empire, carve out your independence, or watch it all burn, the iron dice are already rolling.
