Product Information

Hire too many crew members early in the game and you could find your profits dropping fast, although you can choose to refuse any member of your crew their fair share of the dough, something which results in them becoming understandably Disgruntled, a mechanic we’ll talk about later.

Dicebreaker is owned by Gamer Network Limited, a ReedPop company and subsidiary of Reed Exhibitions Limited. I’ve been on my fair share of those bad draws or rolls, and in the moment I’ve vented about the game hating me. Depending on the situation having a certain piece of equipment or person along for the ride can provide a free pass, but much of the time you’ll need to make a skill roll by grabbing a dice and adding your crews total in that particular skill (tech, firepower and negotiation) to the value rolled to determine how successful you are.The problem is that if the cards don’t go your way and you find yourself without a crew, money, or prospects, you’re not going to have a very good time slowly building yourself up while someone else eventually wins the game. Completing jobs ranges from doing something simple, like picking up cargo at one planet and dropping it off at another, to making skill rolls to rob trains, rob banks and much more .

Named after an in-show class of spaceship, this excellent series lasted only 14 episodes before it was cancelled by Fox. Interacting with another player requires you to both be at a dead stop within a sector space, at which point you’re allowed to wheel and deal for anything or hire away disgruntled crew members. Those expansions will, in all likelihood, become future reviews covering what they add and how it improves or changes the gameplay.

Since its release, a number of successful expansions have surfaced including the Breakin’ Atmo mini expansion, Pirates and Bounty Hunters, and Blue Sun which greatly enhances the threat posed by the Reavers. Sometimes we may include links to online retailers, from which we might receive a commission if you make a purchase. I say that because the playing pieces are REALLY bad seeing as they are supposed to represent ships from the series. By default everyone can “mosey along”, moving through a single sector of space with absolutely no risk involved, but of course this is a rather slow and when you’ve got jobs piling up time really is money.
