Dice Games

Craps is a dice game in which players bet on the outcome of a roll, or a series of rolls, of two dice. One player — the shooter — throws, but everyone at the table bets, and most bets are on the shooter succeeding.

Farkle is a push-your-luck dice game. On your turn you roll six dice, set aside any that score, and choose: bank what you have, or reroll the rest for more. Roll no scoring dice at all — a farkle — and you lose everything accumulated that turn.

Liar's dice is a bluffing game played with hidden dice. Each player conceals their own roll under a cup, then players take turns bidding on how many dice of a given value are showing across the entire table — including everyone else's, which nobody can see.

Yahtzee is a dice game in which players roll five dice up to three times a turn, then commit the result to one of thirteen boxes on a scorecard. Each box may be used exactly once, so the real decision is rarely what to roll — it is which box to spend.
