It’s gettin‘ dicey

Roll dice quickly!

 

Rolling dice as fast as possible while calculating in your head! Each player has one red, one blue and one yellow die, and a number of cards equal to number of players minus 1 are displayed. All roll their dice simultaneously and keep rolling until the result corresponds to one of the cards on display; you can also set aside dice and re-roll them anytime later.

The challenges represents results of calculation operations, depicted on the cards by red, yellow blue or green squares; a grey square always represents a die of any color, and there are also challenges that only use two dice. Examples for challenges on display can be: Grey + grey + grey = 8, or red-blue = yellow; or red > yellow. Or even numbers only on all dice or odd numbers only or numbers in sequence, e.g. 2-3-4 or 4-5-6, or numbers must be bigger than the previous ones with the biggest number on the red die. So, you need to look closely, calculate quickly and also recognize and resolve calculation operators like bigger than or smaller than.

When you have achieved a result for a challenge, you grab the card and are out of play for the round, When all cards are taken and only one player left without a card, you display new cards for a new round. Whoever has won seven cards first, wins the game. If more than one player achieve this within a round, the players involved in this tie continue to play until only one player alone has won most cards.

A fast, thrilling and challenging game, ideal for travel as it is stored in a bag; and, of course, it offers good practice for pattern recognition and fast calculating in your head.
