White dice help you regain stuffing (which represent your health level) and black dice are accumulated to trigger the arrival of nightmare minions when the group has gotten too many. The colors of the dice correspond to different types of task that can be performed, such as melee combat, ranged combat, perception/search, or resistance. Each turn involves pulling six-sided dice from a dice bag. Each stuffed animal has different abilities to draw upon, and you can gain items throughout play that your character can use.
