very famous game called everyone's marble which is in a very broad sense a version of monopoly in Korean version of monopoly so that was just the the opening trailer going on there so first thing we get to see push notifications I don't really like seeing this first up I like to play the game first before I see this but there is so we can also see this is a very Korean thing not a scary thing quite an agent thing I think when they think about the user experience they're not so bothered about having this download daemon on an android this tins happen a lot but just cuz the way the end was still works people play still works on on the App Store shouldn't really happen so much it's not a big download but Tony one makes it in a lot but it's just it just breaks the flow I'm really good like I've got Disney's Magical dice I'm really want to play it in first thing I see is a don't want to have push notifications which no one really cares about and then I go I'll go wait to have something downloaded so that the flow is not good
I wouldn't say I think these things need to be improved upon for all developers but particularly I guess when you're having a kind of asian developers coming into the west and Wesson vote was going into Asia as well you need to think quite carefully about the flow again so I've got this i'm not you can play the game yet is kind of offering me matching pair of a costume class early go you know i mean this doesn't mean anything to me then show for today scam why would I why would I want to see that again it's kind of odd so the flow here is I suggest could be refined because the thing off to what you care about is you want something to get in the game as quickly as possible and play the game and have a great time you don't want any barriers in the way and already we've had like three barriers in the way of us just getting into the game so as I'm sure certain proportion people just go right and enough delete uninstall so there we go so obviously the Pont having Disney is we have Mickey he's Felix fortune he's create the dice world is going to give me a cost you move so I'm not going to be OMG ok hotdog great customer okay
so card base select a costume card who should I have let's have let's say now so that's my little character there and peas into my nickname so if you rob double three times and really sent to jail so I'm obviously dice game is car is causing you to purchase squares and build buildings just have assets good management for money all right so interesting you see the bottom notes it upon tutorial completion you get 30 gems that's quite good thing I think um tells me what
countries me to continue through this tutorial okay tap your chance of rolling the number you want increases depending on where you land on dice meter okay try holding and pattern to the meals and so I can't see how this works I'm quite sure what if you look at here how I see didn't do very well in okay mm-hmm okay it should make every each I think I'm okay so it makes me got 10 I rolled a double so that's obviously another encouraging thing to get me to keep be happy about the game I get another roll where's my role bond that oh she's moving again which is moved to so this is the monopoly bit comes in i can buy a square let's roll against the roller double jolly Pierre has anything even number now so that may handless on and let the fortune was a fortune sets 22 or two or six okay that's interesting so
take some what of the fun out of it I suppose Oh okay that was a great for either okay to 10 14 cards what surprised by another temp the drum and light will move to start say that bonus 3 under this gold currency to hundreds also passing goes in it building on this no on the square of your choice so which one is it am i building another one on the one I already owned by the look of it yes I got let's build ticket tell your parents you're explicitly taking a little an offer okay see little buildings about landmark on it now what the bill says I'm betting everything up three ways nope nice you gone different ways to win you win the round when your opponent's total assets drop to zero so it's come
from same as monopolies so a total assets are their house okay okay that's rather waste Wayne brother I'm going to build a building for you want you to a long square neck so what so what it will meet in wants me to roll of three is it so what like have complete the color then I'll to have two on the same so this is again right monopoly okay um yeah right sir see now so what means tho those colors are quite the same those greens on the triple calc impatient that's going to drop someone on me for what my rolling on fri that I'm unrolling for and then go down like session I did so basically no matter what I roll it just going to give in to
me so triple color communities couldn't burn one well the playing is any other okay so i've got 3 i've got three sets then okay you win the round and receive them all right let's not let me think back to the house i'm so forget a line which is odd because this is going to be a line before I guess it is you here is because it's saying stuff up in such a way that sometimes you following the tutorials the hand-holding is so it's so tight that when when the tutorial ends you can feel a bit lost because all you've done it's kind of taps on the screen and not really understood and that's quite a lot of information to be had a particular for a game that that I would imagine it's quite cutie looking and probably slightly younger than the average game
suppose it's Disney though so that's maybe alright oh goodness yeah I think that's quite line here by owning all the magic squares on the board how'd I know they're magic squares okay oak is a different color so different ways of winning that's what I'm taking from this five times as this lived in it so now we understand pale again okay so I've kind of done the tutorial okay so I don't think particularly want to go into too much detail on and we go okay it's going to give it more into the personal okay so basically gone through the tutorial now and we can see a bit of the user excuse it interfaces probably quickly worth going through here so we've got the gift so I Mike rewards as a whole bunch of ID
so interesting here so i pre-registered for the game although free version on android and playing an iOS so quite ali worked out that i don't know so there we go clean my gifts always nice when people are playing to get a bunch of gifts we can see the bottom there's a there's some hearts of the energy system there's five hearts and I've got 20 as well because it's tied I've got 60,000 gold which is a the softer currency valdakk of it yes I can't buy that by that with the hard currency which is gems I've got 80 gems so 80 gem diamonds is looking like that's about 66 pounds maybe kind of nine ten dollars so that's quite nice to have that i'm mostly level 1 i'm so does my ranking i'm not only friends attached to this so i guess i'm just playing this Felix fortunate moment so got this guy's the item shop i get free draw so it's obviously some sort of is where i can draw new costume cards
for my collection strong prefer so this is obviously card based system get free draw this time purchase items free what do i get in here wanna get in a card back Cinderella okay see they're so easy it's going to change out my costume card does this a better card than I've got how does this how does that change the different classes I'm quite sure what those classes mean now seem most card battling things you kind of up raid them not quite sure what this is car level one and there's kind there are different attributes so not a lot of different between them dice controls better for
Cinderella user be rather than a CSP got more like to get golden card these are power-ups are gauging and powerful card you something later the costumes so I can basically use so this is the usual stuff with cards so I slept in five cars it's given me 16 comes in I'm going to pair them up you some currency they go disappear and no a legend is powered up and got an Aladdin God klebanow them for ok Fusion can't do that yet so fusion is where I have two cards the same to have to 11 cards are familiar so very standard card back card collection mechanics so you have wiggle gotcha which is going to random random winning of cards through a kind of
randomized process and collection and collect the cards and then you fuse them so that's really what is the big monetize s run in places like Japan we're pretty much puzzle & Dragons that's that's all it is compel kind of get you get your collection fusion cool ok so that's interesting so we have a so you can see there's a very cutesy game which is not probably glad complicate them start playing it but a certain levels of complication that may be a bit hard for the tutorial and then quite a hardcore not hardcore in terms of these gonna be aggressively monetize although maybe but obviously that those kind of car collection things are there's a very well understood Malaysian method which is getting you to spend money collecting both tenting trying to collect the top level of cards which is if you're a power player that's what you want to do off so you can just not spend any money as you can in any of these free to play games and just enjoy the game ok so
that's interesting it's an interesting game I think certainly it would be interesting if it wasn't have a Disney nice and solid is nice and smoky a particular interesting i special that means disney will have powered down some of the things that net no marble might have otherwise been choosing to in terms of monetization and such like these need obviously having very careful of its brand name and having been caught out a bit in the past not necessary caught out but had a bit of a backlash on some of the stuff they tried to do with where's my water so um tell ya that's a first time user experience with with a disney magic dice magical dice so thanks for watching don't forget to subscribe so we do like this first time user experience stuff obviously not in that in that net playlist and play games for a bit long as well and do some deeper monetization as well so if that's kind of thing you like to watch no please subscribe hope to see you again thanks for watching
Disney Magical Dice, a mobile title developed by Netmarble, serves as a western-focused adaptation of the popular Korean board game Everyone’s Marble. The game utilizes a Monopoly-style mechanics framework integrated with collectible card game (CCG) elements, featuring Disney-themed characters and assets. The primary objective for players is to manage assets, purchase squares, and build landmarks to bankrupt opponents, while simultaneously engaging in a card-based progression system that involves collecting, upgrading, and fusing character cards to enhance gameplay attributes.
The initial user experience is characterized by several friction points that hinder player onboarding. The tutorial flow is interrupted by mandatory push notification prompts and background data downloads, which create unnecessary barriers before the core gameplay loop can be accessed. While the tutorial provides clear, step-by-step guidance on movement and property acquisition, the hand-holding is sufficiently restrictive that it may leave players feeling unequipped to navigate the game’s more complex mechanics once the guided sequence concludes.
The game employs a standard monetization model common in Asian mobile markets, centered on a gacha-style system for acquiring character cards and a dual-currency structure involving gold and gems. Despite the cutesy aesthetic, the underlying systems—including card fusion and attribute management—introduce a layer of complexity that contrasts with the simple board game premise. The integration of the Disney brand suggests a cautious approach to monetization, likely intended to protect the intellectual property’s reputation while maintaining the engagement loops necessary for a competitive mobile title. Ultimately, the game demonstrates a solid technical foundation, though the onboarding process requires refinement to improve player retention and reduce early-stage churn.
