About the game
Welcome to Las Vegas, the dice game that throws you right into the thrilling casino action! Get ready for a fun, luck-filled experience where interaction and a dash of 'schadenfreude' (that joy at someone else's misfortune, you know?) are guaranteed. The game is super easy to learn, perfect for anyone looking for a quick, casual match. The dynamic is straightforward: you'll have six casino mats, each corresponding to a number from 1 to 6. Before each round, money cards are dealt to each casino until the sum reaches at least $50k, but it can be much more, making some casinos irresistible. Each player receives eight dice of their color. On your turn, you roll all your dice and choose one number to allocate. For instance, if you rolled several 3s, you can decide to place all of them on the '3' casino. The trick is that you must place all dice of the same number you rolled on only one casino. Players take turns rolling and allocating their dice until all have been used. The grand finale is the money distribution: the player with the majority of dice in a casino takes the highest-value bill. In case of a tie, the tied players get nothing, and the next player with the most dice (excluding the tied ones) takes the highest remaining bill. The goal, of course, is to end the game with more money than your opponents. Las Vegas is a light game, with a super low difficulty, ideal for introducing new players to the hobby or for a relaxing game night.
