'''''Yu-Gi-Oh! Dungeon Dice Monsters''''' was a spin-off of the hugely popular ''[[Yu-Gi-Oh!]]'' franchise, based on the board game introduced in chapter 134 of [[Yu-Gi-Oh! (manga)|the manga]] (episode 47 of [[Yu-Gi-Oh! (anime)|the second anime]]). Instead of the usual card-based gameplay most people are familiar with, ''Dungeon Dice Monsters'' uses dice.
The game is played between 2 players, each taking the role of a Monster Lord (also known as Die Master) with the objective of defeating the other player by summoning (called "Dimensioning" in this game) monsters using dice. The game is played with specialized dice, which the players collect and build a "Dice Pool" from. Each die has special "Crests" printed on them,

In the card game, it's a Level 4 vanilla with poor stats and thus never really used. In here, it's an easy-to-summon Level 2 monster with a whopping 40 HP (for comparison, the Level 4 ''Dark Magician'' has 30 HP) and an ATK-increasing ability to decimate threats on top of it.
** [https://yugioh.wikia.com/wiki/Mystic_Horseman_(DDM_video_game) Larvae Moth]. Yes, '''''that''''' Larvae Moth. In here, it's a Level 1 monster with 20 HP/ATK/DEF (a really good stat for its Level). In the card game, it's a [[Joke Character]].
* [[Awesome but Impractical]]: Most Level 4 monsters have pretty good stats. Good luck trying to actually summon them, though.
* [[Boring but Practical]]: Most Level 1 monsters have poor stats and no effect, but they're easy to summon and can be used to construct dungeon fast to pave way for your stronger mid/late-game monsters.
* [[Color-Coded for Your Convenience]]: In the Japanese version and the video game, the dice are color-coded according to their Tribe. The English version color-code them by Level instead.
