Grabber - Dice Game Rules

Like Hungry Hungry Hippos, but with dice and hands

Players: 2-4 players

Ages: 8+

Time: 5m

Setup: All the dice.  Original box (or a cup)

Simultaneous Turns

Goal: Get the most dice

Cycle:

  • Put 6 dice into the cup (color doesn’t matter)
  • Shake the dice and flip the box over onto the table (cover the top/window with hand)
  • Ready, set, reveal!
  • Each player may use ONLY ONE HAND to grab dice that are 1s or 6s only
    DISAGREEMENTS: If disagreement over whether a dice was a 1 or a 6 that can’t be settled reasonably (or through group majority), then each player rolls and highest gets to be correct.
  • Unclaimed dice go back into general pool for future rounds

Finale:

  • When all dice have been claimed or one player has enough that no one else can catch up
