Fun Dice Games (besides Yahtzee!)
Some of these I’ve played. Others I’ve only heard or read about, and fully intend to play when I get the opportunity. I’ve listed them in no particular order, so be sure to skim over each description for something that suits your fancy.
Qwixx
Qwixx is a dice game similar to Yahtzee, but reliant upon combining pairs of dice rather than large combinations. The object is to use the 6 dice provided to eliminate as many numbers (2-12) from the color-coded score card as possible. Sounds simple enough, but the rules of elimination complicate matters enough to make it a decently challenging, strategy-driven game.
Qwixx rules call for 2-5 players, but you can have more if you like. It won’t get boring for the players in waiting as they have an opportunity to score once on every player’s turn using the total of the two white dice. A typical game lasts 10-15 minutes, and should only set you back $9-$12. If you happen to have four different colored dice, plus 2 white ones, you can print free score cards for Qwixx and pay nothing at all! There’s also this handy online Qwixx scoring program that does all the math work for you.
Farkle
No family gaming collection is complete without this classic dice game. Farkle utilizes 6 traditional dice. 5s and 1s are the only single die numbers that are worth points. You can score with combinations, like 3, 4, 5 and 6 of a kind, but you must roll at least 3 of a kind all at once to score it. You can’t roll a 5 in one roll, and 5-5 in the next, to total 5-5-5.
What makes Farkle so fun is that it’s a risk management game. You can always keep rolling in hopes of a bigger score, but if your score doesn’t improve on the next roll, you lose your turn, scoring nothing; known as a Farkle. If you happen to have 6 dice on hand, you don’t need to buy anything to play. Grab pen and paper, read over our quick Farkle rules page, and invite as many friends as you’d like to join in.
To Court the King
Thisdice game reminds me a lot of Coup, minus the trickery and deception.Each player’s job is to secure the influence of nobility in order togain the favor of the King. A turn-based game, each player gets toroll 12 dice, looking for specific combinations that will earn themhelp from a secret character of nobility, and each character has adifferent ability in progressing nearer to the King’s favor.
ToCourt the King is a game for 2-5 players. It comes with 12 dice and aset of 50 character cards. You can purchase it online, but it’s notan easy find. Last I looked, it was going for $60+, as was itsyounger cousin, Favor of thePharaoh.
Roll for It!
Thisunique dice and card game is very similar to Yahtzee in that playersare competing to roll specific combinations on the dice to scorepoints. However, the combinations you’re rolling for are decided bythe cards that are played throughout the game. The cards havedifferent degrees of difficulty, with corresponding point value.Cards that require 2 dice are worth 2 points, 3 dice 5 points, and 4dice 10 points. In this turn-based game, players need to rollcombinations and collect cards worth a total of 40 points to win.
Rollfor It! is a game for 2-4 players. It comes with 24 dice (6 of eachcolor) and a deck of cards. It’s an inexpensive alternative toYahtzee, retailing for about $7-$10.
Phase 10 Dice
Ifyou’ve ever played the exhilarating card game known as Phase 10,you’ll have a good idea of how this game works. My family and I lovePhase 10, but it can be an incredibly long game. Phase 10 Dice is ashorter version that is very similar to Yahtzee, but with twice asmany dice and larger combinations to achieve. Like the card game,those wilds come in very handy!
Theobject is to roll sets, runs, the longer runs of 7, 8 and 9, seven ofa color, and all of the other difficult card combinations found inthe original Rummy-style card game. Players get three rolls tocomplete the next Phase (i.e. dice combination) on the list. It’s notabout scoring points though. The winner is the player to complete allnecessary combinations first.
I’ve owned this game for a long time, and find it incredibly fun! Unfortunately, it doesn’t seem to be in production anymore. You can find it used for $20+, or new from $30-$60. Yikes! And to think the card game is still selling in retail shops for about $7.
Boggle
Boggle is a super fun dice game that’s fun for all ages! It’s often used as an educational reading/spelling tool for kids, but countless adults enjoy it too. The game consists of a square plastic casing that holds 16 lettered dice. You shake it up, place it down, and all the dice fall into the 16 little squares within the case. Players then compete against time to spell as many words from the adjacent dice as possible. The longer the word, the more points it’s worth.
Boggle can be played by 2+ players and comes with a 3-minute timer. It’s also available in deluxe versions called Big Boggle and Super Big Boggle, featuring a 5×5 or 6×6 letter grid.
Yahtzee Showdown
Atrue board game version of the original title, Yahtzee Showdownallows players to compete against one another for the same dicecombinations. The board contains 12 open positions and 4 wild spots.Players roll to move around the board, then again to claim a positionthey’ve landed on.
Ifthe position is open, they can roll for any combination card that’snot yet taken. If the position has a card on it, the player must rollfor what’s on the card in hopes of stealing it from the player whocurrently owns it. Landing on a wild allows players to roll for anycard, taken or not. Each card combination is worth a certain numberof coins, depending on the difficulty. The winner is the player withthe most combined coins on the cards at the end of the game.
Yahtzee Showdown is a game for 2-4 players. Although it doesn’t appear to be on any store shelves these days, you can snag a used one online pretty cheap.
Lord$ of Vegas
This is far from your typical dice game. Althoughthere are 48 of them – 12 per player (2-4 player game) – the diceare only used for certain aspects of the game. In this regard, it’snothing like Yahtzee. In fact, it’s more like a Las Vegas version ofMonopoly.
Players gain ownership properties along Las VegasBoulevard and its major side streets (Flamingo Rd, Tropicana Ave,etc.) As players gain money, they can take various actions, likebuilding, expanding or remodeling a casino, or – since this isVegas – gambling in an opponent’s casino!
I wouldn’t recommend buying this one on a whim. It’snot a cheap game for one thing, costing anywhere from $45 to $65.It’s a little more complicated than Monopoly, taking some time to getused to. It’s not a good one for young kids either – notnecessarily because of the gambling aspect, but because it’s a rathercomplicated game and can take 1 to 1-1/2 hours to play. Overall,Lord$ of Vegas is very fun once you get it down, and offers anexpansion pack for true fans of the game.
Vegas Dice Game
Not to be confused with Lords of Vegas (above), this game is all about the dice. Designed for 2-5 players, each gets 8 dice to start. There are 6 tile cards, marked with die numbers 1-6, each representing a Las Vegas casino. By drawing random money cards, every casino is assigned a value of no less than $50k, and players will roll to see who wins the cash.
This is a quick game, super easy to comprehend and play. And there’s no actual or simulated gambling involved, so the kiddos are welcome (recommended for 8+). Note that this was originally sold as “Las Vegas Dice Game”, but the “Vegas Dice Game” is the exact same game, by the same company, that comes in a cooler dice-shaped box. They can go for $20-$40, but shop around. You can usually find them new on eBay for about $10-$15.
Roll Through the Ages
This is a very unique board game that uses symbolic dice to lead players through the building of a civilization. It comes in multiple ‘Ages’ (The Bronze Age, The Iron Age, etc.), but the goal is always the same. Players compete to evolve a thriving civilization, building new cities, developing more resources and keeping the growing population fed. It all takes place by rolling dice that proffer materials, workers, food, coins and more.
Casino Yahtzee Replacement Dice Game
This dice & board game will set you back anywhere from $25 to $40, but it’s worth the cost. It comes with enough wooden pegs and player boards to suit 1-4 players (yes, solitary play can be fun too!), with six wooden dice and a thick pad of score sheets. If you run out, you can print free score pads for Roll Through the Ages direct from the creator’s website.
Catan Dice Game
Catan Dice is to Yahtzee what Mahjong is to Dominoes.It comes with 6 dice, but instead of numbers, they are marked withimages. The images are different resources you need to buildstructures; bricks, wood, coal, wheat and sheep. The object is tobuild roads, knights, settlements and cities. Each structure requiresa different, progressively difficult combination of resourcematerials. You can’t just build anything though. You must choose apath on the game board to expand, with each structure along the pathbeing worth a set number of points.
Here’s the catch… Catan is a game for only 1 or 2players. The solo game is quite fun, but that set-up isn’t acquiesceto a family game night. You could expand for more players, but you’llneed to draw up a new game board to accommodate. That’s not too hard– I’ve done it before. You can find this game for around $10, andif you really enjoy it, there are bigger, better expansion packs youmight want to try.
Monopoly Express
Formerly sold as ‘Don’t Go to Jail‘, MonopolyExpress is a quick and fun dice game in which players compete with bethe first to collect $15,000. You do this by rolling symbolic diceand taking risks. The game board is just a small circle, about thesize of a saucer. It’s got color-coded squares that represent thedifferent properties in Monopoly, including railroads and utilities.Each group has a point value. You can keep rolling as long as youwant, but if you end up rolling a trio of cops, all accumulatedpoints for that turn are lost and your turn is over!
It’s labeled for 2-4 players, but you can have asmany as you like if you take score on paper instead of the score padprovided. You can also increase the point/cash value needed to win ifyou want a longer or more challenging game. This one sells for about$10 online and comes in a very compact case, making it perfect fortravel.
BANG! The Dice Game
If you’ve ever played BANG! The Card Game,you’ll have an idea of what’s in store here. This version is quicker,but maintains the core values of its predecessor. Each player gets acharacter card, giving them a special ability in the game. Takingturns, players roll the five dice up to three times. The resultsallow players to take actions, like increasing range of shots,shooting neighbors, or healing life points after taking damage.
Playable as a team game, everyone is competing toaccomplish whatever their team’s goal is. Your goal is determined byyour character (Sheriff, deputy, outlaw, or renegade). The sheriffand deputies are trying to kill all of the outlaws, the outlaws arelooking to kill the sheriff, and the renegades are out to killeveryone and be the last ones standing. There are a few themevariations of the game, all retailing for between $10 and $20.
