Play Chocobo Land: A Game of Dice Online

Summary

Chocobo Land: A Game of Dice started its life as Dice de Chocobo, a quirky board‑game spin‑off that first appeared in the 1999 PlayStation Chocobo Collection. A planned WonderSwan Color remake never saw the light of day, but Square Enix eventually gave the title a proper home on the Game Boy Advance in 2002, rebranding it with the longer, more whimsical name. The GBA version kept the original’s dice‑rolling mechanics while adding colorful sprites that let players guide the beloved Chocobo across a board of chance and strategy.

Even though the game never became a mainstream hit, it found a second wind when Nintendo added it to the Wii U Virtual Console in February 2016, letting a new generation of handheld fans experience its simple yet addictive gameplay. The virtual release preserved the handheld’s crisp 240 × 160 screen feel, so the dice clatter feels just as satisfying as it did on the original cartridge. For anyone who enjoys a quick board‑game break with a touch of Final Fantasy charm, Chocobo Land remains a hidden gem worth rolling for.

Storyline

Chocobo Land: A Game of Dice (often just called Chocobo Land) plays out like a board‑game showdown on the Game Boy Advance. Players start with a pool of crystals that act as currency. By spending crystals they can purchase creatures and place them on board spaces, boosting the value of those tiles. The goal is to collect a set amount of crystals and then race back to the starting panel to claim victory.
