6 dice · Roll until only one remains

Spyn Dice is a dice duel with life points: players roll, attack and sweat in turn until only one is left standing. Here are all the rules — including the official house rules.

A dice duel with life points: roll, attack, and be the last one standing.

How to play

  1. At least 2 players compete; everyone starts with rolled life points.
  2. Take turns rolling, match hit faces, and chip away at opponents' life points.
  3. Whoever drops to 0 life points is eliminated.
  4. The last surviving player wins the round.

How a turn works

  1. Everyone rolls their life points first: six dice, so anywhere from 6 to 36 life.
  2. On your turn you roll six dice and may set some aside and reroll the rest — at least one die, but never all of them.
  3. When you stop, the total of your six dice is measured against the threshold of 30.
  4. Drop to 0 life and you are out. The last player standing wins.

The game needs at least two players. The aim is not to roll as high as possible but to beat 30 deliberately — or to hit it exactly.

The threshold of 30 — the heart of the game

Total above 30Attack: the difference comes off your opponent's life
Total exactly 30Neutral: no damage to anyone
Total below 30Self-damage: the difference comes off your own life

That is what makes setting dice aside the real decision: stopping early on 28 costs you two life, while rerolling might turn it into an attack — or into a far more expensive miss.

Spyn Dice FAQ

How many players and dice do you need?

At least two players and six dice. There is no upper limit — just enter every name in the app.

How is starting life decided?

Each player rolls all six dice once at the start; the total is their life. So it lands between 6 and 36, and uneven starts are part of the game.

What happens on exactly 30?

Nothing — exactly 30 is neutral. Neither side loses life. It is the safe way out when another reroll would be too risky.

What happens if I stay below 30?

The difference comes off your own life: a total of 24 costs you six life points.

How does setting dice aside work?

You keep at least one die but never all of them — at least one die must always be left to reroll.

Who wins?

Whoever still has life left last. A player who drops to 0 is eliminated and the round continues without them.
