Dice games
Four dice games with plain rules. The dice are drawn on the page, so you do not need a set of your own.
Games
- Dice Poker Roll five dice, choose what to keep, and fill your score sheet. Play alone or versus Alden.
- Pig Roll one die, bank the turn before a 1, and race Alden to 100.
- Shut the Box Roll the dice and shut the tiles that add up. A lower score is better.
- Drop Dead Roll five dice. A 2 or a 5 drops out. Score the rolls that stay clean.
Roll, then decide
Dice Poker uses five dice and a score sheet of thirteen categories: three of a kind, full house, straights, and a five-of-a-kind top slot among them. You may roll up to three times on a turn, holding any dice you want to keep, then you must fill one category. Play the sheet alone, or take turns with Alden.
Pig is a race to 100 against Alden, with a single die. Each roll from 2 to 6 adds to the turn. Hold to bank that turn onto your score. A roll of 1 wipes the turn and passes play. Points you have already banked stay where they are. Shut the Box sets out tiles numbered 1 through 9. Roll, then shut one tile or several that add up to the dice. Your score is the sum of the tiles still open, and lower is better. Shutting every tile scores 0. You can play a round on your own, or race the machine, which plays a fresh box after you. Once 7, 8, and 9 are all shut, you roll one die.
Drop Dead starts with five dice and no choice to bank. If a roll shows no 2 and no 5, every face is added and you roll those dice again. If any die shows a 2 or a 5, that whole roll scores nothing and each of those dice leaves the game. You continue until none remain. A higher score is better.
On this site
Each game has a short rules section under the board. Play stays in this browser, with no account. Casino dice, such as Over/Under 7, use play credits and an age check. They are listed in the casino lobby, not here. The card games are the patience layouts, if you want a deck instead of dice.
