If I ask ask about a game's "components" , that is, what comprises of the game (the game has a dice, playing pieces, cards, etc.), what would be a good question? I don't know how to describe a game. Thanks for your help.
If I need to find out a car's horse power, what question would be good? What is the capacity of the car? Thanks for your help.

Perhaps:

What accessories does the game include?
How big's the engine?  How much horsepower has it got?

Thanks.

I want to say "The game is played with a dice, two packs of cards, etc. " "The game consists of a dice, two packs of cards, etc. " Do the sentences make sense? Thanks.

Yes, both seem fine to me, Chariot.
