About the game
What you do in a play session
Check out this quick classic, Poker Dice! Forget the deck of cards, here the game is played with five special dice, each with faces resembling poker cards: from 9 to Ace. The idea is simple: roll the dice up to three times to try and form the best possible poker hand. You can keep the dice you like and re-roll the others, or risk it all and roll them all again. The goal is to beat your opponents' hands, and don't worry, the suit order doesn't matter here, only the combination itself. It's a super flexible game, you can play with a bunch of people (like, up to 12!) and a game lasts only about 10 minutes. Perfect for breaking the ice, for a quick unwind, or for those who enjoy the thrill of poker without the card complexity. It also serves as a basis for simpler versions of 'Liar's Dice', so it has one foot in tradition and another in pure fun. If you enjoy betting and bluffing with dice, this one's for you!
