Spinning Dice was founded by two friends, who decided to create their own board game that will finally satisfy their nerdy needs, but will be easy enough to be played by and with casual players.
At first, there were no serious plans to publish the game. It was all just for fun and out of pure passion. After 3 years of development, it was clear that "The Descendants of Volos" beats all similar games out there. At that point, an idea emerged to register Spinning Dice Handelsbolag - a company located in Sweden. There are ideas for the next 8 completely different games, within the same universe. The future of those games depends on the success of the first product - DoV.
