A free app, built by a board game enthusiast
Dicea is a completely free board game app for managing your collection, logging plays and tracking your stats on Android and iPhone. Behind the project is a professional developer who loves board games, with over a year of development behind it.
The idea was to build an app that feels quick and easy to use, without a subscription or fiddly steps that interrupt game night. Dicea will stay free. The award history and swipe-based game discovery are also part of what gives it its character.
The project keeps growing, with new features to come. Your feedback helps shape what comes next. Found a problem or have an idea for your next game night? We're listening.
