Welcome to the 146th Episode of the Ministry of Dice – the UK based, bi-weekly best in Dice Masters podcast chat.

We get started with a “quick” catch up that, amongst other things, is filled with a variety of random non-Dice Masters stuff, because we know how you’re bored of Dice Masters chat on a Dice Masters podcast, right? LOL

Seriously though, we chat over our recent games, talk a little about the new release of the Dice Masters comprehensive rules, and chat over our recent unboxing experience of the new Secret Wars set.

Then it’s on to a classic “Two Card Combo” segment. We’re sharing some combos made up of two cards (“Two Card Combo Segment”, get it?), one of which is a new Secret Wars cards. There’s some fun ideas to start the brewing juices flowing here.

Finally, we wrap up with a Secret Wars themed version of “Play your Cards Right”. See how you get on and if you do as well as Chris!

All this, and find out which classic tune is GUARANTEED to get folks on the dance floor at a wedding…

Welcome to the 145th Episode of the Ministry of Dice – the UK based, bi-weekly best in Dice Masters podcast chat.

We get started with a quick catch up in which we discuss how things have picked up pace now that the Marvel Dice Masters Secret Wars set release is upon us! There are unboxings going on, there’s Team Builders getting updated, and pre-orders getting shipped. Andy called it – after ‘avin a moan a few episodes back we are now re-invigorated with some new & fresh cards to be brewing with & talking about.

Then it’s on to our next “Great British Brew Off” challenge. We’re making teams that can deliver a 20 point hit with one dice. Tune in to hear our team creations, as well as some listener submissions.

Finally, we wrap up with a Secret Wars spoiler “Pick of the Week”. We’ll discuss a card each that’s stood out to us and share our reasons why.

Welcome to the 144th Episode of the Ministry of Dice – the UK based, bi-weekly best in Dice Masters podcast chat.

We get started with a quick catch up in which we discuss our experience playing the community created “Death by a Thousand Cut” teams and the release date news for the new Marvel Dice Masters Set Secret Wars.

Welcome to the 143rd Episode of the Ministry of Dice – the UK based, bi-weekly best in Dice Masters podcast chat.

Tune in to get the MoD update and the latest news & info about the Wizkids Game.

Well… we say “tune in to get the latest news & info about the Wizkids Game Dice Masters”, but this is not your usual MoD episode – we’ve got just one featured segment all about the subject of there being not much to talk about.

After years of these highs & lows with the game we’re feeling a bit of burn out and disillusionment, and its time we talked about it. We’re still months away from the potential release of Secret Wars and another period of creative content water treading is getting a little exhausting.

Don’t panic though – this isn’t us wrapping up or anything – this is just us (mostly Chris) getting it off our chest, and asking the audience if things are OK with you too.

So – it’s a meandering, completely unstructured episode really, with some insight into the challenges we face making Dice Masters content in the past, and as history repeats itself now.

If you enjoyed the podcast, then we’d love you forever if you could take a minute to go and give us a 5 star rating and maybe a short review. It really helps us get the word out to new listeners and is encouraging to Andy.

Welcome to the 142nd Episode of the Ministry of Dice – the UK based, bi-weekly best in Dice Masters podcast chat. Tune in to get the MoD update and the latest news & info about the Wizkids Game.

We kick things off with our usual catch up, talking over some recent Single Affiliation games we’ve had and getting the now obligatory Marvel Snap update from Andy. We also take a pass through some of the correspondence and chat that our last episode’s segments generated.

Then it’s over to “The Great British Brew Off”. Both of our featured segments follow up on the “Death by a Thousand Cuts” brewing challenge we set in our last episode. In the first segment we’ll share the details of the teams we have constructed, then in the second segment we’ll take a look at the listener submissions. Which pingy ping damage cards are the popular ingredients for the Brew Off challenge? Listen to find out…

All this – and we discover that the large majority of Prime drink supply in the UK is going to Southampton, mostly to feed Andy’s habit…

Welcome to the 141st Episode of the Ministry of Dice – the UK based, bi-weekly best in Dice Masters podcast chat.

Tune in to get the MoD update and the latest news & info about the Wizkids Game.

We kick things off with our usual catch up and general ramblings before moving into a “Community Focus” segment to give a heads up on What's going on in the online tournament scene.

Then it’s over to our first featured segment: “The Great British Brew Off”. Andy’s keen to get some community brewing going on so sets the scene for a brewing challenge for us to explore over the next couple of episodes.

Our final featured segment is talking about Globals. Specifically, great Golden Globals that haven’t yet had a reprint. Should they get a reprint? How would they sit in the current meta? Why were they so good in the first place?

All this – and get some truly inspiring insights into the nature of heroism, and a little Heroclix…

Welcome to the 140th Episode of the Ministry of Dice – the UK based, bi-weekly best in Dice Masters podcast chat.

Tune in to get the MoD update and the latest news & info about the Wizkids Game Dice Masters.

We refer in the episode to this instalment’s content as “the frivolous episode”. With the loooong wait for Secret Wars it’s time for the “all filler, no killer” episode segments to start coming out!

So, after detouring into Marvel Snap (for Jocelyn), the Aliens movie, and other such distractions we have two “challenge” segments to share.

The first is “Ready, Steady, Brew”, in which Andy & Chris use Trubie’s online Draft Pack generator to draft up some Superman Kryptonite Crisis packs and make their best teams.

The second is a classic, Dice Masters themed quiz created by Chris. It’s called “Dice Masters subtitle, or…” and we invite you, dear listening member of the Ministry, to play along and let us know your scores. Test your knowledge of Dice Masters subtitles and see if you can do better than Andy!

All this – and find out some interesting scientific terms…

If you enjoyed the podcast, then we’d love you forever if you could take a minute to go and give us a 5 star rating and maybe a short review. It really helps us get the word out to new listeners and is encouraging to Andy.

Welcome to the 138th Episode of the Ministry of Dice – the UK based, bi-weekly best in Dice Masters podcast chat.

Tune in to get the MoD update and the latest news & info about the Wizkids Game Dice Masters.

After getting caught up on our gaming activity over the Festive period we move into some quick updates. There’s some online tournie action on the horizon and we launch our new, prestigious MoD Merch store over on Etsy.

Then its on to some chat about the long wait for Secret Wars to be released. We’re pretty accustomed now to long dry-spells with little new product to play with so we share some of our approaches to keeping ourselves engaged with the game and “keeping it fresh” in this waiting period.

Finally, it’s a very special featured segment to finish off, with some new card news that is going to shake the competitive meta to it’s very core.

All this – and the Marvel Snap takeover picks up pace, with the start of a journey with Andy’s new Patriot card…

Welcome to the 138th Episode of the Ministry of Dice – the UK based, bi-weekly best in Dice Masters podcast chat.

Tune in to get the MoD update and the latest news & info about the Wizkids Game Dice Masters.

It’s time for the extended 2022 MoD Christmas Special! We’re looking back at 2022, forward into 2023, and generally feeling all festive n’stuff as we close out the year and present our final episode of 2022.

And if all that good Dice Masters chatter wasn’t enough - we also bring you the tale of Dick Wizkiddington. It’s a classic festive panto tale to enjoy along your usual banter from us about Dice Masters (and Marvel Snap, and North Korea, and hats)

A word of warning to the wise – PARENTS – some of the jokes are a bit saucy this year (in the finest panto fashion). Just letting you know before you hit play with the kids around.

Welcome to the 137th Episode of the Ministry of Dice – the UK based, bi-weekly best in Dice Masters podcast chat. Tune in to get the MoD update and the latest news & info about the Wizkids Game Dice Masters.

This is our Dice Masters Vs Cancer 2022 tournament report special. Our fundraising event has come to a close and so it is time to have a bit of a chat on how it all went.

Our first featured segment will be a more general discussion about the fundraising effort. How was the event? What were our highlights? And of course, how much was raised? We’ve got a lot of ground to cover, including a massive congratulations to the winner and a list of “thank yous” to all those that helped us made it a success.

Then we’re going to take a closer look at the teams. What were the winning win conditions? How were folks ramping in the absence of Dark Phoenix global? What were the most used cards? And how much did the team building achievements influence the team choices? We’re going to discuss a few key combos that lead to tournament success and share a few thoughts on the meta in a world where the top 8 Worlds teams are banned.  

If you enjoyed the podcast, then we’d love you forever if you could take a minute to go and give us a 5 star rating and maybe a short review. It really helps us get the word out to new listeners and is encouraging to Andy.
