About the game

What you do in a play session

Get ready for some llama madness in Don't L.L.A.M.A. Dice! In this fast-paced, adrenaline-fueled game, the goal is to get rid of numbered cards and, most importantly, the dreaded llama cards that rack up negative points. Each round, you roll three dice, hoping to match the results with the cards in your hand or discard a card from the "llama row" – a line of special cards that can either save you or sink you. If luck smiles upon you with three llamas on the dice, you can even get rid of a negative point token you've already collected. But beware! If the dice don't cooperate and no matches are possible, you'll have to take cards from the llama row, increasing your collection of bad points. The dilemma is constant: risk another roll to try and get rid of everything, or play it safe and secure what you have? Quitting the round at the right time is crucial to avoid accumulating a truckload of negative points. The game ends when a player reaches 40 or more points, and the one with the fewest points is the big winner. It's a push-your-luck game with a dash of strategy, perfect for those who enjoy quick decisions and a bit of fun chaos. Ideal for families and casual gamers looking for a light experience, but with that satisfying tension of 'will it work out?'.
