About this game
Roll the dice on your destiny in this strategic roguelike!
Dicey Bizniz combines the addictive deck-building mechanics of Balatro with the tactical depth of dice manipulation. Build powerful combinations, collect game-changing relics, and push your luck through 11 increasingly challenging antes.
Core Gameplay
Strategic Dice Rolling: Lock the dice you want, reroll the rest. Every decision matters when submissions are limited.
Combo Mastery: Form poker-style hands with your dice: pairs, straights, full houses, and beyond.
Multiplier Stacking: Each die has unique multipliers that compound your final scores into massive point explosions.
Risk vs. Reward: Exceed ante targets to earn precious gems, but push too hard and you might lose everything.
Optional Boss Battles: Climb the antes with or without Boss encounters, whichever playing style you prefer.
Endless Mode: Conquered ante 11? Stop and gather your rewards, or continue on an ever-escalating journey.
Dragon Sanctum: If at first you can't win a certain scenario, spend Dragon Tears at the Sanctum and buy meta-upgrades, permanent across all future game runs.
Build Your Arsenal
Diverse Dice Collection: From reliable d6s to explosive d20s, each die type offers different strategic possibilities.
Powerful Relics: Permanent upgrades that fundamentally change how you play: boost multipliers, gain extra rerolls, or bend the rules entirely.
Strategic Spells: One-shot consumables that can turn a losing hand into a winning streak when used at the perfect moment.
Meaningful Upgrades: Expand your hand size, increase your rerolls, or unlock new mechanics as you progress.
Key Features
Deep Strategy: Every roll presents meaningful choices. Lock early for safety, apply spells and modifiers, or risk it all for the perfect combo.
Multiple Scenarios: Each scenario has its own unique Dice Tray with special abilities, some will help you, some will make your run a strategic nightmare.
Emergent Combinations: Discover powerful synergies between dice types, relics, and spells that create unique builds every run.
Perfect Session Length: Complete runs in 15-25 minutes, perfect for quick sessions or extended play.
No RNG Frustration: Smart design ensures skill and planning matter more than pure luck.
Master the Meta
Success isn't just about rolling high numbers. Will you focus on consistent low-risk combos or gamble everything on explosive high-multiplier builds? Can you balance your gem economy to afford the perfect relic at the crucial moment? Every run teaches new lessons about probability, timing, and when to take calculated risks. And with the Dragon Sanctum meta-upgrade path, every new game will see you stronger than the previous one.
Whether you're a roguelite/roguelike veteran or new to the genre, Dicey Bizniz offers an immediately accessible yet deeply rewarding experience that will keep you coming back for "just one more run."

Version 1.0.12 (Jan 19, 2026)
Fixed several small bugs, some reported by players and some I've identified myself while watching Twitch streams and YouTube videos about the game (thank you all, guys!!).

Version 1.0.11 (Dec 29th, 2025)
This is a bit of a housekeeping release: Fixed a visual glitch that caused the Victory scene to show an incorrect amount of Dragon Tears during runs with Boss Battles enabled When the next ante is a Boss Battle, now the "Continue My Game" button in the Shop says "Continue to Boss Battle"Read full article on Community Announcements (Surrogate of Sorrow)Patch NotesOfficial
Version 1.0.10 (Dec 28th, 2025)
Thank you so much to grimorae for both of the following: fixed a microscopic bug in the early-scoring system which happened only once in a million, but still... added a small "owned" counter to dice, relics, and spells in the shop (so you know off the bat how many of each you already own)Read full article on Community Announcements (Surrogate of Sorrow)Patch NotesOfficial

Version 1.0.8 (Dec 21st, 2025)
I often watch livestreams from content creators playing Dicey Bizniz, and I try my best to capture their comments and (sometimes) complaints, and turn them into action items to improve the game. This release fulfills two of the "most wanted": the wild_d6 die now re-evaluates itself each time a die is moved into a battle tray during Boss Battles, this implements the true spirit of this die's mechanics the messaging is now different when defeating the final Boss as opposed to the intermediate (easier) onesRead full article on Community Announcements (Surrogate of Sorrow)
