9 Kings: it was meant to have 81 cards, it has over 130, and it is still as easy to break
Sad Socket's kingdom roguelike leaves Early Access with four modes, 130 cards and 140 decrees. And a half-price launch discount.

A messy dice shop, sets of seven to complete, mysterious floppy disks. The cozy game for tabletop players with far too many dice.

Every tabletop player has that bag. The one where dice have piled up for years, mixed, mismatched, a translucent purple D20 whose matching D12 vanished in 2014.
Dice Hoarder turns that bag into a job.

You have been hired to stock a mysterious dice shop. The job: pick up scattered dice, examine their colours and materials, and rebuild more than 400 complete sets. Each set holds one of every classic die: a percentile die, a D4, D6, D8, D10, D12 and D20. You dig through boxes, sort, and stock the shelves.
There is no timer. In Story Mode, the next day only starts once the value of dice on the shelves reaches the target. In Zen Mode, you restock uninterrupted, just for the pleasure of it. A gentle soundtrack accompanies every shift. You can also craft your own resin dice to fill the gaps.

Story Mode adds a thread of mystery. Floppy disks turn up as the days go by, unlocking unusual powers: spotting the dice a set is missing, or pulling them straight into your hand. Who keeps leaving them there, and who hired you, remains to be seen.
It is a sorting game, and you have to like that. The pleasure is meditative, almost mechanical, and anyone looking for a challenge will be bored before the end of the first day. You also need a dedicated graphics card to run it.
At 5.99 dollars, less with the launch discount, it is a little gift for fans of dice, tabletop RPGs and compulsive tidying.
Show us your real dice bag on the InsertCoins Discord, we bet the game invented nothing.

Sad Socket's kingdom roguelike leaves Early Access with four modes, 130 cards and 140 decrees. And a half-price launch discount.

Spartans, Persians and Egyptians, sieges, naval battles and captured gear. A remaster that recalls the golden age of RTS without erasing its age.

After eighteen months of Early Access, the plane-building game adds seaplanes, firefighting and a hard mode. Still under 7 euros.
