The last issue brought some fun dice games. This article will continue to introduce some fun dice games in 2024.
1. Ready Set Bet Ready Set
It is undeniable that watching a group of horses sprinting at full speed on the track is exciting. Ready Set Bet brings the charm of horse racing to the table, and all the actions depend on a pair of dice. One player effectively serves as the host and announcer. They roll two dice corresponding to the 9 horses placed on the small cardboard track. The tumbling horses move forward on the track, gradually approaching the finish line. The turning point here is that the announcer keeps rolling. Over and over again. As fast as possible.
This game is a mess. As the announcer rolls, they are calling out the moving horse, perhaps to emphasize the grooming and encouraging it. Everyone else at the table is placing bets on a large mat, all of which are carried out in real time when the race begins. You can bet on actual horses, or you can place more esoteric prop bets, such as seven horses finishing the race before four, five, and six horses. It’s a party game with energetic and furious dice rolling.
2. L.L.A.M.A. Dice
L.L.A.M.A. Dice (also published under the title Don’t L.L.A.M.A. Dice) is a simple push-and-go game that combines a card game with a relaxing dice roll. The goal is to match the three dice you throw with the numbered cards splayed out in front of you. This allows you to discard those cards and avoid collecting points. The tension here is whether you want to keep going and risk not rolling a result that matches one of your cards. In this case, you must draw a new one from the middle row, worsening your position. At any time, you can quit and take the loss, ending your participation in the round and eating your remaining cards. Since L.L.A.M.A. Dice is played in multiple rounds, this is usually the best strategy. The blend of intuition and risk assessment makes for a satisfying and short dice roll game.
3. Bang! The Dice Game
Bang! The Dice Game is a great social giving party game, but sometimes it can get old and become boring for the players who are eliminated. Bang! The Dice Game The dice game keeps the same theme – a Wild West sheriff must survive an attack by outlaws with the help of his deputies – but changes the gameplay from cards to dice, so you can’t stockpile defence cards to protect yourself. Instead, you roll five dice up to three times, choosing to keep the results that can heal you or attack your enemies, or re-roll in the hope of getting three or more Gatling gun symbols, which allow you to fire at the entire table. If dynamite comes up, it can’t be re-rolled, and if you get three sticks, it will damage you, meaning you have to think carefully about whether to try your luck. Spice up the gameplay with more luck-by-luck mechanics with the Old Saloon expansion pack, or give eliminated players a chance to return as zombies with the Undead or Alive expansion pack.
