Single-hero expansion. This pack includes everything needed to play as Santa, but a second Dice Throne hero (base game or expansion), sold separately, is required for a match.
About the game
Better be good. Very good.
The Dice Throne Santa Hero Pack brings Santa Claus into the Dice Throne universe with a twist that is far from comforting. Behind the jolly smile, the Christmas sweater, and the mugs of eggnog hides a direct and ruthless fighter: anyone who ends up on his naughty list finds out the hard way.
Like every Dice Throne hero, he comes with his own dice, a dedicated deck of cards, and a recognizable playstyle: aggressive, fast, and designed to end the duel before the opponent has time to organize.
With medium-low complexity, he is one of the most accessible heroes in the series: perfect both as a first purchase after the starter set and for those who want a direct hero to bring to every duel night.
He’s not a hero who makes you wait. He strikes early, he strikes hard, and if he builds up enough Cheer, the opponent finds themselves knocked out before they even realize what happened to them.
Santa's secret in a nutshell
There is something irresistible about seeing three, four, or five axes lined up on the dice while the opponent realizes they are already falling behind on their comeback.
From the gaming experience
Dice Throne Santa Hero Pack
FrogScore · FroGames editorial rating · based on the rules, international reviews, and gameplay sessionsWhat he brings to the table
The most direct gift in the series
Santa has no long-term plans: he has an axe, a sleigh, and the determination to finish the duel ahead of schedule.
Trim Your Tree
The Axe symbol is his signature: three, four, or five axes deal increasing damage, up to 8 points in a single hit.
Rosey Cheeks
A small straight grants him a Cheer token and unleashes extra damage for every Cheer accumulated.
Reindeer Games
A large straight activates one of his most powerful moves, capable of turning the tide of the duel in a single turn.
Cheer & Eggnog
Two positive status effects that buff his attacks turn after turn, until the opponent is knocked down.
You’d better behave. Santa is already checking the list twice.
A duel in five moments
What happens at the table
You'd better behave. Very well.
The first roll
Santa wastes no time on pleasantries. On the very first turn, he is already rolling dice looking for his axes, ready to strike before his opponent has even warmed up.
Axes align
Three, four, five axes on the dice: "Trim Your Tree" is triggered and the opponent's health points start dropping from the very first turns.
Cheeks turn red
A small straight, one extra Joy token: every accumulated Joy adds damage to the next attack. Santa smiles, and that's not a good sign.
Reindeer join the game
A large straight activates "Reindeer Games": one of the most powerful moves in his repertoire, capable of turning the entire duel around in a single turn.
On the naughty list
Health points drop faster than the opponent expected. Santa doesn't need a complicated plan — he just had to hit early and hit hard.
How to play
The flow of every turn
The structure is that of every Dice Throne hero, but Santa plays it with the most direct rhythm in the series.
Santa rolls his 5 dice, with up to 3 re-rolls, looking for axes, straights, or his card combinations.
Depending on the result, he activates "Trim Your Tree," "Rosey Cheeks," or "Reindeer Games," dealing damage and accumulating Joy.
The player being hit re-rolls their defensive dice, if the card allows it, to reduce the incoming damage.
Joy and Eggnog are updated, new cards are drawn, and you head straight for the next turn.
Why he is different from other heroes
Six mechanics that make a difference
Direct damage with axes
"Trim Your Tree" turns three or more Axe symbols into immediate damage, up to 8 points in a single attack.
Accumulating Joy
Every extra Joy token increases the damage of subsequent hits: the longer the game goes, the harder Santa hits.
An ultimate that flips the duel
"Reindeer Games" can change the outcome of a clash in a single turn, if the right straight arrives at the right time.
Accessible complexity
Fewer layers to manage compared to other heroes in the series: ideal as a second purchase after the starter set.
Compatible with the whole series
Play Santa against any hero from any Dice Throne set, from the classics to the Marvel and X-Men expansions.
Also in Dice Throne Adventures
Bring Santa into the cooperative campaign mode for even more replayable battles.
How it ends
He who strikes first, strikes best
Santa lives for rhythm: the longer the duel drags on, the greater the risk that the opponent finds time to react.
Victory
- Reduce the opponent hero's health points to zero
- Accumulate Joy to amplify the damage of subsequent hits
- In team battles, the last team with at least one hero standing wins
Elimination
- Your health points reach zero, often sooner than expected if the opponent reacts quickly
- Defense is not his strong suit: a well-placed counterattack can be decisive
- The next duel can flip everything: switch heroes, start again
The Dice Throne Santa Hero Pack is the most direct way to bring a second festive and aggressive hero into any combination in your collection.
