Dice & Deeds
A multiplayer 3D board game where players create rooms, share a code, and play against friends or bots.
I built Dice & Deeds as a multiplayer board game inspired by Monopoly. The goal was to keep the setup simple while still giving the game a live, 3D feel that works well online.
The main flow is room-based. A player creates a room, shares the 6-letter code, and other players join the same session from there.
To make matches more flexible, bots can fill empty seats. That way, the game can still move forward when the group is not complete.
The project is centered on play, competition, and shared state. It brings the familiar board-game format into a digital space without making the entry flow heavy.
How it works
Dice & Deeds is a Monopoly-style multiplayer board game built around a live 3D board. I designed it for people who want to set up a game quickly, invite others with a room code, and play together in the same session.
The experience focuses on the core loop of creating a room, filling seats, and competing to bankrupt everyone else. Bots can take empty seats, which keeps the game moving even when not every position is filled by a person.
The problem
Board games that move online often lose the simplicity of gathering people around one table. Players need a way to join the same match without a complicated setup, and a session should still work when the group is incomplete.
At the same time, a Monopoly-style game depends on clear turn flow, shared state, and a board that feels understandable in a digital format. If the interface gets in the way, the game becomes harder to start and harder to follow.
The approach
Dice & Deeds centers the game around a room-based flow. One player creates a room, shares the 6-letter code, and others join the same match from there. That keeps the multiplayer setup direct and easy to repeat.
The game also supports bots for empty seats, so a session can start without waiting for a full group. The 3D board gives the match a more physical feel while still keeping the game playable online.
Impact
- Players can start a match by creating a room and sharing a short code.
- Empty seats can be filled with bots to keep the game moving.
- The 3D board makes the experience feel closer to a physical tabletop game.
- The game supports direct play with friends in a shared online session.
