In Dice Stars, the dice are shooting stars that never look the same! You can choose to end the game quickly or take your time, but all your choices will be crucial to multiplying your points and reaching an incredible total! You may need to risk it all if you want to succeed... In more detail, Dice Stars is a short dice game in which you have to make the best decision to score the maximum of points.
