Description

Button Men is a fast-paced game that's easy to learn and plays out in just 5 minutes. Designed by James Ernest and first published in 1999, it's a simple yet inventive game that's deeper than it seems at first. Players take on the role of unique characters, each represented by a stickpin button and armed with a set of polyhedral dice that determine their combat abilities. The goal is to take out the most die 'sides' during combat, which is done by rolling the dice against your opponent and taking their dice as casualties. With its push your luck mechanics and dice rolling, Button Men is a thrilling game of strategy and chance. It's a great game for two players looking for a quick and exciting battle, and its collectible components add an extra layer of fun to the experience.
