A short, set-collecting strategy card game about elemental spirits, drafting, and hand management. Make some Mania!
Be sure to check your email for any notifications! We'd hate to have your copy end up in the wrong hands.
Good news! Mana Mania has been manufactured.
Bad news! The game is stuck overseas.
Unfortunately, we didn't manage to get on the water before Chinese New Year. (Happy Year of the Horse, btw.) Ultimately we're still ahead of schedule and in a good shape. Our manufacturer tells us to expect movement in late March or early April.
While we wait for the Far East to neigh the holiday away, why not join us for some playtest nights? The Diceratops Discord is testing new games every Friday at 7:00pm CDT, so drop by to have some fun and get a sneak peak on the development cycle. Other devs are welcome to showcase too!
We appreciate your patience as we continue working on the campaign.
Happy New Years from Diceratops Games!
We closed out 2025 quietly after the hubbub of the Mana Mania campaign last fall, but we've not stopped working since! We're happy to show off the latest development: Our production copies have arrived!
It's surreal to be holding the (semi)final product, but it just means we're getting closer to having the whole lot to worry about! Only a few minor changes to the artwork were warranted and we're itching to get some games in. With any luck, we'll avoid major delays in with the complete run.
If you're curious to see our year in review, check out this latest blogpost over the Diceratops 3D blog! See what projects we and our design peers been cooking up in the indie board game space.

Hello Backers!
We approach the end of the year, and tax season with it. To ensure a smooth progression of the project, we will be charging cards for BackerKit in the next few days.
This will only charge backers for shipping and taxes. Your pledges were already charged through Kickstarter back in October. We're still waiting on several backers to input shipping addresses, but this will capture 75% of our supporters.
In other news, we've approved the digital proofs and are expecting the production proof in the next month! This is an exciting step towards seeing the finished game in our own hands, so we'll be sure to share updates.
Thank you all!
Big motion behind the scenes! After painfully intense review and adaptation to the correct the file types, Mana Mania's game art has been finalized and submitted for production. The manufacturer is starting the long process of manifesting physicality from the realm of the digital. In the meantime, we're working to clean up loose ends.
Leyline Dominus Backers, we're reaching out to collaborate on your custom rewards. Keep an eye out for messages if you haven't responded already.
Online Players, we'll be updating the TTS to the finalized graphics in the coming months. Right now, we need a break from file formatting.
Late Pledgers, if you haven't submitted responses to our BackerKit survey, please check your emails or reach out! We can resend the link to get your shipping info.
Thank you all!
