About the game
What you do in a play session
Get ready for a dose of dice-based strategy with Can't Stop Express, a game that has evolved since its first appearance in Sid Sackson's 1969 book, "A Gamut of Games." Originally known as Solitaire Dice, it also went by the names Choice and Einstein, proving its versatility over time. Now, in this Express version, you face the challenge of combining the results of five dice to score points. Each round, the active player needs to be sharp, choosing the best pair combination and deciding the fate of the remaining die. The game concludes after about 24 to 25 rolls, and the player with the most points wins. And the best part: it comes with rules for playing solo, perfect for those moments when you want a personal challenge or to test your luck and reasoning without relying on anyone else. It's one of those games that fits your pocket and your schedule, ideal for those seeking quick, intelligent fun with that touch of luck only dice can provide. If you enjoy the simplicity of rolling dice and the thrill of trying to optimize each outcome, Can't Stop Express might become your new addiction.
