Poker Dice

About this game

Poker Dice is a dice game using five (5) special dice of the same name (Poker Dice). The dice have playing card values from a nine to ace, instead of the 1 through 6 pips on standard dice. Poker Dice can be played by any number of players and the rules for the game are very simple. Each player in turn gets up to three rolls of the dice to make the best standard poker hand, players put aside dice on each throw to build the 'hand' and the player with the best poker hand wins (suit has no relevance). Poker Dice are often used to play a public domain version of Liar's Dice (different rules than the Bluff or Perudo versions of Liar's Dice).

Does it fit your group?

• Group size. Works with 2 to 12.
• Rules load. At 1.2/5 this is a light game — explain it in a few minutes, good for a table that has not played much.
• Age. The publisher suggests 8 and up. That rates the rules rather than the artwork, so judge the box yourself for younger players.
