Sailor Moon Crystal Dice Challenge Combat Game

Sailor Moon Crystal Dice Challenge is now at the printer
Pre-order with confidence » Expected shipping by July 2018

The Pretty Guardians and their allies need your help to defeat the Dark Kingdom and the Black Moon! Square off in one-on-one dice battles or team up for larger action!

Each player selects one of the 24 included Sailor Moon Crystal series characters to play. You and an opponent use your selected characters to battle each other in several rounds of combat. During the game, both of you are rolling a number of dice of different sizes (from 4-sides to 20-sides) and trying to use the numbers rolled to capture your opponent’s dice and gain points. The winner gains a victory point while the defeated character powers up and becomes an even stronger opponent! The first person to win three rounds wins the game.

There’s also the option to play the game using teams when you have more than two players, either through single combat teams or in tag-team combats. To accommodate an unlimited number of players at an anime/gaming/fandom convention, local game store/cafe, or any large gathering of family and friends, additional tournament rules are provided.

Sailor Moon Crystal Dice Challenge is designed by James Ernest of Cheapass Games and is fully compatible with their Button Men series of games.

Sailor Moon Crystal Dice Challenge Board Game Box

Everything needed to begin your dice battles is included in one box:

  • 24 full-colour character cards, each featuring a hero or villain from the Sailor Moon Crystal series
  • 24 polyhedral dice (four coloured sets of six different dice types)
  • 55 cardboard die-cut tokens representing special abilities, coins, and victory tokens
  • 2 plastic card holders and 2 different custom Sailor Moon Crystal lanyards for social portable play that are ideal for playing at conventions or in other large groups
  • 6 challenge cards to advertise that you are ready for a combat duel, each featuring a super-deformed Sailor Moon Crystal character
  • A 12-page full-colour manual with detailed game rules, numerous play examples, and expanded rules for larger battles (single-combat team play, tag-team play, and tournament play)

Since we announced our licensing agreement with Toei Animation to create a line of Sailor Moon Crystal tabletop games, we have been inundated with an incredible amount of support and interest. We want to ensure that every Sailor Moon Crystal fan has the opportunity to purchase this first game immediately upon its release and this pre-order opportunity will help us better meet demand.

Furthermore, to show our thanks to our pre-ordering customers, we are including two special promotional bonuses with your purchase: the Sailor Pluto character game card and a 36″ x 24″ Sailor Moon Crystal poster! These bonus items ARE NOT INCLUDED inside the game box and are available exclusively at launch to pre-ordering customers only … ABSOLUTELY FREE!

Finally, Dyskami Publishing is giving you early access to the game! We are shipping pre-ordered copies to customers first so you’ll receive it before the game is available for purchase at retail stores.

Due to the geographic restrictions of our licensing agreement, we can only ship the Sailor Moon Crystal Dice Challenge, Sailor Pluto promo card, and Guardians poster to addresses within Canada and the USA. Pre-orders are priced in USD currency for all customers and are collected through Paypal.

The $35 Guardian and $65 Team pre-order levels do not include freight charges, which will be billed separately to customers (again, through Paypal) when the game is ready to ship in April or May. The shipping cost depends on the destination address as outlined in the chart below. Free pick-up is available in Guelph at The Boardroom Game Cafe and at conventions that Dyskami Publishing attends this spring (specific convention attendance still to be determined). You will receive an email from us when we are preparing game shipments with instructions concerning payment of shipping charges.

This game is dedicated to our dear friend and Art Director, Jeff Mackintosh, who lost his multi-year battle to cancer in September 2016 during the graphic production of the Sailor Moon Crystal Dice Challenge.

We love him and miss him dearly and are proud to present Jeff’s final work to you.
