    Null[edit source]

    Button Notation: Black frame, n
    BMO Notation: n

    Null Dice are worth no points at the end of the round.

    If a Null Die is used to capture a die, remove the captured die from the game instead of putting it into your Score Pile.

    Null Dice were introduced by the promotional character Tess, available at GenCon for the Studio Foglio Brawl decks.


    Shadow[edit source]

    Button Notation: horizontal line above number, s
    BMO Notation: s

    Shadow Dice are normal in all respects, except that they can not make Power Attacks. Instead, they can make inverted Power Attacks, called Shadow Attacks.

    Shadow Attack: Use one of your Shadow Dice to capture one of your opponent’s dice. The target die must show a value equal to or greater than the attacking die, but within its range.

    For example, a Shadow 12 showing 7 can capture any value between 7 and 12.

    Shadow Dice can make Skill Attacks normally.


    Twin[edit source]

    Button Notation: Two numbers in a figure-eight frame
    BMO Notation: ( , )

    Twin dice are played as two dice that are rolled together and added together.

    For example, a Twin 8 is represented as (8,8) and is treated as a single die that can roll values between 2 and 16. The two 8s are rolled as one, captured as one, and scored as one die worth 16 points. When they first appeared, Twin Dice always had the same number repeated twice. Twin Dice with unequal numbers also appeared in later expansions.


    W Swing Dice can be any die between 4 and 12. Swing Dice are allowed to be any integral size between their upper and lower limit, including both ends, and including nonstandard die sizes like 17 or 9. Each player chooses his or her Swing Die in secret at the beginning of the match, and thereafter the loser of each round may change their Swing Die between rounds. If a character has any two Swing Dice of the same letter, they must always be the same size.
