How the game begins

Critical Split is a fast-paced dice game driven by chance, where the characters you receive shape every roll. Some hit hard. Some bend the odds. Some become stronger with the right partner.

01

Make the Divine Split

Shuffle all six character cards face down. The non-dealer(s) choose two characters and take their matching dice. The dealer chooses two from the remaining cards. Unchosen characters stay face down.

02

Roll your pair

Roll both dice together, then use your characters’ abilities to build the strongest final score.

03

Claim the gems

Win the round? Claim a gem. The first player to collect three gems wins the game.

“I cut, you choose.”
