Artisan Dice make some of the most beautiful dice I’ve ever seen, and I’ve always wanted a set. Some of the latest I’ve seen, from their Necromancer’s Dice set, are of an even higher level of beauty… and price. The price however, doesn’t make me want them less! The dice pictured above are made of American Bison horn. Artisan Dice makes dice from all sorts of material, however, and they are equally gorgeous.

Plaid Hat Games’ arsenal of games isn’t as large as that of other game companies, but every one of their games is of the highest quality. Ashes: Rise of the Phoenixborn is designed and illustrated by the same team that produced Dead of Winter, a Flaming Dice Reviews Editor’s Choice Award winner. Ashes, like Dead of Winter, looks to be equally amazing.

In Ashes: Rise of the Phoenixborn, players take control of the powerful Phoenixborn, demigods who are vying for control of a war-torn world and who seek to ascend to the status of full god. Through a combination of dice and cards the Phoenixborn do battle with one another. Ashes will be an expandable card game that includes 6 Phoenixborn to choose from in the core set.
