With popular games such as Zombie Dice and Cthulhu Dice in its considerable arsenal, the guys at Steve Jackson Games plan to build on this six-sided legacy throughout 2012. Alongside seven new sets of Cthulhu Dice, we've word of two new games (Dino Hunt Dice and Halloween Dice, plus an expansion for Zombie Dice.

Dino Hunt Dice is a "push your luck" style dice game for three to eight players, designed with a younger player than is usual for SJG. The aim? Collect dinosaurs without getting crushed underfoot. Here's how SJG Marketing Director Monica Valnetinelli describes it:

Dino Hunt Dice is similar to Zombie Dice. We made a few changes: there are fewer dice, the dice are a little bit smaller, and the cup is smaller. That is all designed around being good for children. They can reach in there more easily; the dice are easier for them to hold. You roll three dice. You don’t want to get stomped on by the dinosaur. Once you have three stomps your turn is over and the dinosaur walked on you.

Dino Hunt Dice stomps into stores late in 2012.

Halloween Dice is a speedy offering for three-plus players, each aiming to collect exactly thirteen Jack O' Lanterns. Players choose the amount of pumpkin dice they roll, balancing risk versus reward. Candy can be spent to improve odds. Halloween Dice is due in August.

The expansion Zombie Dice 2: Double Feature is actually two expansions in one. The "Big Summer Action Move" adds Hunks and Hotties to the fray, both dangerous to the players but granting double scoring. "Santa Claus Meets the Zombies" sees a red Santa Claus die come to town, bringing presents to the zombie players. The "Direct-to-Video Sequel" rules allow players to combine both expansions.

Zombie Dice 2: Double Feature will be upon is in April.
