Dr Dice is a strategic puzzle game where you place dice onto a board to create matches. This browser-based board game challenges you to think ahead, arranging dice to connect three or more of the same color or number.
Using simple mouse controls, you'll drag and drop dice from the professor's chaotic lab to score points and clear space.
Scoring in Dr Dice is based on creating groups of matching dice. The primary way to score is by placing a die adjacent to two or more existing dice that share either its color or its pips (number).
When you form a group of three or more, they vanish from the board, and you earn points.
Larger groups yield significantly more points. For example, a group of four matching dice is worth more than a group of three.
The ultimate score boost comes from creating a chain reaction, where clearing one group causes others to fall into place and form new matches automatically.
Success isn't just about making the first match you see. You must consider the entire board. Placing a die in the center can open up more future possibilities than placing it on the edge.
Try to anticipate the next few dice you'll receive and set up the board for powerful combos.
Be careful not to block off valuable spaces. If the board fills up and you have no valid moves left for the die you're holding, the experiment is over and the game ends. Always leave yourself an out.
You can play Dr Dice for free directly in your web browser. There are no downloads or installations required.
Because it's an HTML5 game, it runs on most modern devices and can be accessed on school or work networks that might block other gaming sites, letting you get your puzzle fix anywhere.
The main goal in Dr Dice is to score as many points as possible by strategically placing dice on the game board. The game ends when the board is full and you can no longer make a valid move.
Controls are simple and intuitive. Use your mouse to drag the die from the queue and drop it onto an empty space on the board. A left click confirms the placement. The die must be placed next to at least one other die.
To clear dice and score points, you need to create a group of three or more dice that match in one of two ways: they must either all have the same color or all have the same number (pips).
When a match is made, the dice are removed from the board, and new ones can be placed in the cleared spaces.
Look for opportunities to create combos. Clearing one set of dice might cause another set to align, creating a chain reaction that racks up a huge score bonus. Planning your placements is key to mastering the game.
Plan Ahead - Always look at the next one or two dice in the queue. This helps you decide the best placement for your current die to set up future matches.
Control the Center - Placing dice in the middle of the board gives you more adjacent squares to work with, increasing your options for future moves.
Prioritize Larger Groups - While a match of three is good, a match of four or five is much better. If possible, hold off on a small match to build a larger, more valuable one.
Don't Forget Numbers - It's easy to focus only on matching colors. Remember that matching dice by their number is just as effective and sometimes necessary to clear a difficult spot. Use Bombs Wisely - Special bomb dice can clear a tight spot.
Save them for emergencies when you're about to run out of space, rather than using them on an easy-to-clear area.
