PARADICE Logo

What is PARADICE?

PARADICE is a pocket-sized dice game born at a beach bar on a tropical island. Designed as a small toy for enjoying brief moments, it lets you feel the tropical vibe just by rolling dice with tropical icons. Even in a bustling city far from the sea or palm trees, carrying it in your pocket might bring the warm breeze of the south.

 

Simple to Play

PARADICE is a simple yet deep new game using three small dice. Roll dice with tropical icons and compete for points. The rules are so simple that anyone can learn them in a minute. Playable with 1 to 4 players, it’s quick and fun even in short bursts. The goal is to roll the dice for a high score, but special icons can lead to zero or negative points, so choosing which dice to roll or keep is the key to victory.

1. Meaning of Tropical Icons

Each die has a unique combination of tropical icons.

 

Special Icons

Girl Icon (RANI): The beautiful goddess of the South Seas, essential for scoring. She herself has no points, but without her, you can’t score. One RANI means the sum of the other two dice is your score; three RANIs grant a massive bonus, but two RANIs result in a negative score.

Tiki (Bust): The fearsome black god that ends your turn with zero points. Hidden on just one of the 18 faces across the three dice, it occasionally appears to shake up the game.

Scoring Icons

Pineapple Pineapple = 5 points.

Palm Tree Palm Tree = 10 points.

Flamingo Flamingo = 15 points.

Sun Sun = 20 points.

 

2. Super Simple Rules (One Turn)

For two players, take turns; for three or more, decide on clockwise or counterclockwise order and play one turn at a time.

 

1. First Roll: Roll all three dice.


2. Re-roll (Second and Third Rolls) (Up to two re-rolls, three rolls total)


3. Determine Your Score

The Mystery of Obtaining PARADICE

PROPERTY OF PARADICE

PARADICE is not sold in any stores worldwide. It wasn’t created for profit but to bring joy to those who play it. The greatest reward for the creator and development team is seeing people enjoy and love the game.

However, how to obtain it remains a mystery. You might stumble upon it at a beach bar, a seaside café, a late-night bar, or a guesthouse during your travels. But when and where? No one knows.
