Hey, I’m stuck in a box! I’m special that way, I get to still have a box. Maybe it’s because I’m extra special in my doubly deluxe way. You get a whole lot of shiny me in this and honestly why wouldn’t you want that? I even play nicely with others – love a team-up, cue the montage – hey, I’m a busy man, I’ll let my glamorous assistant handle this.
Maximum effort
The Deadpool set for Dice Throne is, joking aside, really special. It contains all the tokens in acrylic, a 3D plastic Deadpool standee, card sleeves, a Promo foil (which is crazy good, as we’ve come to expect from the DT promos) and a solid metal Deadpool coin. It feels like a properly Deluxe product and is well worth it simply as a bit of DP merch.

Merc with a mouth
Deadpool is great in all iterations of the game. He is remarkably good in team play, with his donut tokens healing himself or others (the promo foil makes it himself AND others). He also, in very DP fashion, can play Rock-Paper-Scissors to affect results, which leads to enormous amounts of silliness. It could be annoying (ME, ANNOYING, Noooo) but it actually helps defuse the fact that sometimes Dice Throne can be a bit too cutthroat, especially with “serious” players.
You Bring the Tacos, I’ll Bring the Sauce
You’re always encouraged to be silly when playing ‘Pool. His basic Finger Guns attack gives you a CP if you say Pew! Pew! – and in fact onomatopoeia features heavily, with sound effect tokens being a way of changing dice results (if you make the noise, that is). He’s balanced out by the fact that his straights occupy two different attack slots on his board, and whilst he’s dropping 4 defence dice with 1 auto heal, the roll is only ever dealing (undefendable) damage and/or gaining more Onomatopoeia tokens. Gaining Donuts �� is key, and you gain them on most abilities running off 5/6 – though they are Stack Limit 2, you’ll be burning through them constantly. He’s rated as difficulty 3, but he really is very straightforward to play.
Deadpool isn’t necessarily the best hero in the game Lies, I’m amazing, though he’s certainly competitive better, but he is probably the most fun Wheee. If you enjoy playing Loki and actively antagonising you opponent (spoiler alert – I LOVE Loki me too) or straightforward characters with access to dice modification, then you’re in for a treat. A good test is always how my middle spawn, who can get frustrated by losing, enjoys a game – he likes Dice Throne, but he ADORED playing DP. And as a product, this really does live up to the Deluxe badge, at a great price.
