Pathfinder Dice Arena

In Pathfinder Dice Arena, 24 players takes on the role of a hero in the Pathfinder universe, competing
against each other for fame and glory. While you are all mighty adventurers, only one of you can win the
Royal Tournament.
Overview and Winning:

During the game players will take
turns rolling a number of dice, and
then adding 2 dice to the grid on their
playmat. When all of the dice are on
grids, the round ends. Each player
scores VP, Victory Points, based on
what types of patterns they were able
to make on their grids. After two
rounds, the player with the most VP
wins!
Setup (2-4 players)

Each player chooses a hero to play, then takes that heros reference card and talent card and puts them
within easy reach. Then each player takes their heros item cards, sorts them by type, and puts them
in the market, in stacks, face up. These cards arent owned by anyone until they are purchased in later
turns (not just the ones that match your character!). Shuffle the fate deck and place it face down in the
market.
Finally, build the communal dice pool. The number of dice in the dice pool varies with the number
of players as shown:
2 players: 8 of each color
3 players: 12 of each color
4 players: 16 of each color (all of them!)
This ensures that each player has access to 16 dice. Leave any dice you dont need in the box, you wont
be using them.
2 Player Setup: In 2 player games, place only 1 copy of each character item card in the market. The other
cards are not used in the game; you can leave them in the box.

How to Play
Pathfinder Dice Arena, PDA, is played in a series of turns and rounds. A turn is one player taking one
action. A round is completed when all players have placed all of their dice on their grid.
The youngest player takes the first turn of the game, then play proceeds clockwise (thats to the
left for you digital-clock-only people). Once every player has taken a turn, a new round begins. Play
continues until all dice in the pool have been placed on players grids.
A Turn
During a turn, you perform the following steps in order:
1. Choose and Roll
2. Reroll
3. Add to Your Grid
4. Save One Die
5. Spend Gold
Players continue taking turns in a clockwise fashion until the end of the turn in which all players grids
are full of dice.
1.
Choose and Roll

Choose four dice from the communal dice pool to roll, then roll them!
You must choose the base dice listed on your hero card as two of your four choices, if those dice
are still available in the pool (if only one is available, you must choose it).
You can then freely choose any other diceincluding more of your base dicefrom the pool
until youve chosen a total of four dice. If you dont have that many left in the pool, choose as
many as you can.
Once youve chosen your dice, roll em!
2. Reroll
Every hero has some ability to reroll certain dice if you so choose, and during the game you
can gain extra ways to reroll. Make those rerolls during this step. No matter how many sources
of rerolling you have, though, you can only reroll each individual die once per turn (so, if your
hero allowed it, you could reroll all of your dice with one ability, but then none of those dice
could be rerolled a second time that turn, even if you had a second reroll ability).
3.
Add to Your Grid

Take two dice from those you rolled (or those dice saved in your tent from a previous turn; see
below) and put them in your grid.
If you have the same number of empty spaces in your grid as you have dice in your tent (your
tent is the area on the far right of your character reference sheet), even in the middle of this
step, you must choose dice from your tent to add to your grid. You cannot choose from the dice
you rolled while the number of spaces in your grid equals the number of dice in your tent.
Play Tip: If the quantity of dice you have left in your tent equals the number of spaces left in your
grid, you dont need to choose any extra dice during your Choose and Roll step; you wont be able
to use them!
When you place a starburst die into your grid, it triggers its special power (See page 7).
When you place a gold (1) die into your grid, you immediately gain a gold piece. If you placed
the gold (1) die on a square that has a bag of coins pictured in it, then you gain an extra gold
piece; take a gold piece token, from the bank.
4.
Save One Die

If desired, you may take one die you rolled, but didnt place, and add it to your tent. These dice
must be put into the grid on later turns. Also, dice in your tent cannot be rerolled; you place
them in your grid without changing their facing.
Return the dice that you didnt place or save back into the communal pool.
5.
Spend Gold
You may spend gold pieces to purchase any item cards in the market, recharge talents, and/or
buy draws from the fate deck.
You can buy any or all items, recharges, and draws in any order during your turn. See the
various descriptions under Special Effects for more information.
Ending a Round
Players continue taking turns in a clockwise
fashion until the end of the turn in which all
players grids are full of dice.
At that time, no matter whose turn it was, the
round ends. Each player scores VP (victory
points) for the various patterns players were able
to create (see Scoring, Page 8). After all VP are
scored, all players return all dice from their grids
to the pool, flip any face-down talent and item
cards face up again, and play another round.
The player with the lowest score goes first in the
second round. After the second round, the player
with the highest total VP from both rounds is
the grand champion and winner of the tourney!
Special Rule - the Tent

The Tent is a place where you can save dice you roll from one turn to another. Unless something
unusual happens, these dice will eventually end up in your Grid. If you ever have the same number of
empty spaces in your Grid as you have dice in your Tent, you MUST choose to add the dice from your
Tent to your Grid during your turn, instead of choosing from the dice you rolled.

Print and Play
Each player starts with a talent card that provides the player with a special
ability. The card tells you what the ability is and when it can be used. After you
use the ability, turn the card over.
During the Spend Gold step, you can spend gold equal to the cards recharge
cost to allow you to use the talent another time. When you recharge a talent,
flip the card back over to its front side (the side that describes the ability) so
everyone knows that the power is available to you again.
Additionally, each talent has a recharge section on the front of the card. If the
situation outlined in the recharge section happens and the talent is expended,
then the player may choose to recharge it immediately, without having to spend
any gold.
Recharge:
Another
player
rolls 5 or
more dice.
la
dP
Fate Cards
During the Spend Gold step, you may spend 1 gold coin to draw a card from the
fate deck. Keep these cards secret from the other players until you use them.
Each card tells you what it does. After playing the card, put it in the fate card
discard pile. Players may never have more than three fate cards at a time, but
may voluntarily discard fate cards for no effect during the Spend Gold step to
make room so they can buy more.
You can only buy fate cards once per turn, and you must announce in advance
how many you wish to purchase. Its fate; you cant always control it.

Hero Item Cards

During the Spend Gold step, you can buy any of the item cards available in the
market for the cost listed on the card. You do not need to be the hero named to
buy the card, any hero can use any card. However, if you are the hero named by
an item card, you score 1 VP when you buy the card.
When you purchase an item card, move it next to your hero reference sheet. You
can use the ability printed on the card for the rest of the game. Some abilities
can only be used once per round; if you use such an ability, flip the card over.
Unlike talents, such cards cannot be recharged.

Special Powers
When you place a die showing a starburst icon into your grid, you get to use the dies ability. This ability varies
based on the color of the die.
Green (Will):

Change the icon of any die in your grid (including this die) to any other facing.
Blue (Mind):

Move any die in your grid to an empty space on your grid, or swap the locations of two dice in
your grid. Any die that you move retains its current icon.
Red (Power):

Choose any die in another players grid. Roll that die and place it back in the grid in the same
location. If the result is a starburst icon, the player does not get to use the dies ability.
Yellow (Speed):

Choose a die in another players grid. Move that die to any empty spot on that players grid. The
die retains its current icon.
Gold
Each crown icon earns you one gold when you place it. Additionally, if you
place a crown on one of the spaces on your grid that is marked with a bag of
gold, you gain two gold instead of just one. When you earn gold, take gold
counters equal to the amount you earned and place them near your hero
reference sheet. You can spend the gold later.
Scoring The Round

Your score in each round is based on the patterns you were able to make of the icons in your grid.
A pattern is any sequence of 3 or more icons on dice that form contiguous lines. Dice are only considered
adjacent if they share a side; dice that touch diagonally do not count. Note that players can score VP
for making patterns out of any icons, even crowns and starbursts.
When scoring, players score first for sequences of icons and then a second time for sequences of icons
on dice that match color. Thus, if you have a sequence that is comprised entirely of icons that also
match color, that sequence gets scored twice (once for the icons, once for the icons with matching
color).
Total Score for this grid:

Books................Pattern of 5 = 7 VP
Hammers........Pattern of 5 = 7 VP

Shields, Keys, and Gold dont score

because none of them are a part of a
pattern of 3 or more.

Green (Will):
Change the icon of any die in your grid (including this die) to
any other facing.
Blue (Mind):
Move any die in your grid to an empty space on your grid, or

swap the locations of two dice in your grid. Any die that you
move retains its current icon.
Red (Power):
Choose any die in another players grid. Roll that die and place it
back in the grid in the same location. If the result is a starburst
icon, the player does not get to use the power.
Choose a die in another players grid. Move that die to any
empty spot on that players grid. The die retains its current icon.
Scoring
Your score in each round is based on the patterns you were able to make of the icons in your grid. A pattern is a group of adjacent
(not diagonal) icons on dice. The size of the patterns determines your score, as shown in the chart to the right.
Icon Patterns: You score for any sequence of 3 or more matching icons, even crowns and starbursts.
Icon/Color Patterns: You score for any sequence of 3 or more matching icons (even crowns and starbursts) that also share the same
die color. (Thus if you have a sequence of icons that also match color, that sequence scores twice.)

When you place a die showing a starburst icon into your grid, you get to use the
dies starburst effect. This ability varies based on the color of the die.
