We kick off with our usual start and catch up on our recent games, chatting over the teams we've been used, how they fared, and how we might improve them. The UK Games Expo event is swift approaching, so we talk for quite a while about our team testing for the event. Next up it's the “Community Focus”. There's a fair few big event & what not going on, IRL and Virtual, so we provide a quick run down of upcoming game play opportunities to shore up some attendance. Then we move on to a classic Ministry of Dice “Pick of the Week”. The official Superman: Kryptonite Crisis spoiler schedule has been in full swing, and we've revealed a number of new cards across our website and the YouTube channel. We've both picked a standout card each to discuss and share why we like it. Our second featured segment is a brief one in which we ask a question of our listeners: we know that Dark Phoenix Saga is being tested in the competitive meta, but what about the more casual metas? In what ways has the new set release impacted other formats? We call out for our North American friends for input on how the new set is shaping up in fun, restricted formats across stores & kitchen tables. All this… and Andy's voice is unusual this episode. He thinks it makes him sound “well hard”, but in actual fact it makes him sound like he's manning an 0905 line… 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.

Tune in to get the MoD update and the latest news & info about Dice Masters; the least of which is how it's been a rough couple of weeks for Dice Masters fans – since our last episode we've discovered that the intended Dark Phoenix Saga release date has once again been delayed. After chatting through our recent games, we discuss the events of the delay as they unfolded on the 16th February. Then we continue our Dark Phoenix Saga pre-release coverage with a segment discussing the new Loyalty Counter mechanic. It's a brand new mechanic in the game of Dice Masters that will be sure to catch players' eyes. It's an element from the new set we are eager to brew teams around and experiment with, so have a listen to hear our thoughts. Finally, we have our first special guest on the podcast for 2022. We're so excited to have this individual visit us – they are a retired player from years gone by who joins us to talk about the “Big Year for Dice Masters” idea we've been touting about 2022. They share the concerns of a potential return to the game - how have things changed? What's on the mind of a retired player and what might make them come back to the fold?

There's been preview drafts, online tournaments, and even more Dark Phoenix Saga momentum going on to report on. Then its on to a classic MoD “Pick of The Week”.

This set is looking GOOD, and the new Dark Phoenix Saga spoilers have got us really excited. (Or is Dark Phoenix Saga passé? LOL) To finish up, it is Valentines, so we do a segment for the lovers. Which famous comic book couples are well served by the game of Dice Masters? Or not so famous, because Andy literally had no idea a few of these were an item. Anyway – do they combo in a way that acknowledges their status as a couple, or is their famous love of the ages just blindly ignored?

    Welcome to the 113th Episode of the Ministry of Dice – the UK based, bi-weekly best in Dice Masters podcast chat. It's the CHRISTMAS SPECIAL – and we're here to share the Tale of Rip Thunderscrooge. It's the classic Dice Masters tale that all Dice Masters players should all be aware of, a dark parable that can teach us a lesson about the dangers of indifference towards Dice Masters. We begin with the Ghost of Dice Masters Past and examine the last year in Dice Masters. Was there much Dice Masters going on during the non-event of a year that was 2021? Then it's a visit from the Ghost of Dice Masters Present. It's all about how we're feeling about Dice Masters right now, and largely focuses on the imminent arrival of the Dark Phoenix Saga set. Finally – in case you hadn't guessed already – we wrap up with a visit from the Ghost of Dice Masters Yet to Come. We look forward; summarising the key teases given by Jimmy on his recent interview on the MoD Podcast and speculate wildly. Will Rip Thunderscrooge make it through his ghostly experience, and learn the lessons of indifference towards Dice Masters, or will he doom himself to purgatory? All this… and hear about the joys of wrapping sausages in bacon… 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.

    Yes, it's that time again, the time you all wait & yearn for every two weeks – the latest episode of the Ministry of Dice! It's a bit of meandering episode this time around – we open with just a broad chat about basically nothing at all, other than the merits of Disney based Dice Masters expansions and an update on the small-box family-friendly games Andy was recommended. Then, in our core segment of this episode, we talk Dice Masters Keywords. What are our favourite keywords and why? Which Keywords should be better, but aren't? Are keywords confusing? The lads chew the fat on these subjects and more as they discuss Keywords. Then, in a short, and somewhat strange last segment, the topic of discussion is doing random things with your spare cards & dice. Seasoned players will have accrued quite the collection of Dice Masters dice & cards duplicates, so what can be done with them? It's possibly the most pointless segment we've ever had on this podcast, which is REALLY saying something.

We start by chatting through our recent games of Dice Masters in preparation for the upcoming MoDPDM (details below) and sharing what other gaming we've been up to. Then it's on to a bit of chat about the end of Covid restrictions and what this may mean for small, local gaming groups who play Dice Masters. Chris shares some thoughts about his local scene and what he needs to get his head around for the after times, and wonders what impact the 12-month hiatus might mean for some players. Finally – it's the return of the classic “Vs Battle” segment. We're pitting two sets up against each other in this episode to determine which is the stronger set. It's Golden vs Modern in this showdown of Marvel Dice Masters sets: Civil War and Infinity Gauntlet. Which has more useable globals? Which has more impressive Basic Actions?

    The Ministry of Dice are back with a jam-packed episode of Dice Masters podcasting greatness once again… We open with the standard warm up intro, discussing what we've been playing lately (both Dice Masters AND non-Dice Masters) and generally how we've been getting on. We've got 10/10 format prep going on, panic in the streets about the existence of the Dark Phoenix Saga set, and some thoughts on a potential MoD podcast spin off about reality TV shows. Then we have a classic MoD “Pick of Week” segment, focusing on the little burst of new DC Dice Masters Kryptonite Crisis spoilers that have hit the internet in recent weeks. Chris & Andy highlight their top picks – a card each from the Kryptonite Crisis spoilers that has caught their eye, got their brewing juices flowing, and intrigued them. We wrap up the episode with some expanded chat around the 10/10 format preparations and our predictions/thoughts on the meta we might at the ModPDM on the 27th March. All of this – and Andy's feelings about Discord and cards with 6 lines of text. Hit play 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.

    The Ministry of Dice are back with a jam-packed episode of Dice Masters podcasting greatness once again… As always: the lads give a run down of their last 2 week's gaming, both Dice Masters stuff and non-Dice Masters stuff, briefly discussing what type of formats & teams they've been playing as well as other tabletop games have been out the box. Then we move into a ‘Community Focus' segment, sharing the details of our upcoming MoDPDM – our latest Dice Masters event taking place online, and having a bit of a chat about the new Infinity Gauntlet “Play at Home” kit that Wizkids have released. We move into some natter about the 10/10 format (our chosen format for the MoDPDM) sharing our previous experiences of team building within that format and some advice on how to approach it. Finally: we wrap up our extended series around the infinity Gauntlet team building challenge and go over our time integrating Infinity Gauntlet cards into Golden format teams. All of this – and yet more accents from Andy that are… something else. Hit play 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.
