Having Fun at Home with Dice Games

By Gina Merlotte


Staying at home is never fun without the excitement that dice games bring. No matter what time of the day it is that you're huddled up together with your family or a group of friends, enjoying the moment is easier with dice games. There is not much thinking about strategies when it comes to playing dice games. These games usually involve chance and luck which it makes them even more fun and exciting because people won't know what comes out in the end. Everything depends on pure luck and chance.

You can choose from a variety of dice games that you can play at home. Some of the most notable dice games include Drop Dead, Help Your Neighbor, and Yahtzee. These games are sure to give the most fun and excitement you need to keep away that boredom during family or friends' gatherings.

With the Drop Dead dice game, you'd want 5 dice and a paper to list the score on. The target of the game is to get the bottom score once all players have taken turns by rolling 2s and 5s, getting the player's score to zero. Every player rolls all five dice and if there are any 2s or 5s showing, he scores nothing, sets the 2s and 5s aside, and rolls once more with the remaining dice. The player continues to roll, eliminating the 2s and 5s, and adding up the overall score of the dice when no two or five is rolled. Once the last die is eliminated, the subsequent player takes his turn. Once all players have taken their turn, the scores are tallied and the player with the lowest score is the winner.

In the Help Your Neighbor dice game, you would need at least six players, three dice, and ten tokens for each player. Each player gets numbers 1-6, and when a certain number is rolled, he needs to place one of his tokens at the center. First player to place all his tokens at the center wins the pot. If only 5 players are participating, the number 6 is ignored, and when there are only 4 players, the numbers 5 and 6 are ignored. With three players, each gets 2 numbers, and for two players only, each gets three numbers. Before the game starts, the players need to resolve on how many rounds to play, and the player who gets the most tokens left at the end of the game is the winner.

When you play Yahtzee, you need to have at least three or more people. The goal of the game is to get the highest score when you roll five dice to get certain combinations. The five dice can be rolled three times in a turn to get one of the thirteen possible scoring combinations. There are thirteen rounds in a Yahtzee game and the players decide which scoring combination to use in each of those rounds. After using a combination, it cannot be used again for the other rounds.
