Slappy - Dice Game Rules

Quick eyes and quick hands

Players: 2-4 players

Ages: 5+

Time: 5m

Setup: Each player takes all 6 of one colored dice

Simultaneous play

Goal: Claim all of the dice

Cycle:

  • Ready, set, roll (1 die each into the middle)
  • If two face values are matching, slap the table first to claim them both
  • If slap the table and wrong, give opponent one of your dice (if 3+ players, goes into pot in middle and next winner gets the pot)
  • If not a match, take dice back
    NOTE: BROKEN.  Probably if 4 players in 77%, so dominant strategy to always slap
    ALTERNATE: Call out the numbers that match

Finale:

  • Ends when one player has all the dice
