Angry Dice (2014)

About this game

Angry Dice is a real-time dice rolling microgame. The object is to be the first to six by rolling your dice in ascending order pairs. Players each have two dice they can roll and they can lock a die (except a 6), if it rolls to something they will need. Each Angry Dice set adds different risks/rewards to the game - the base set of Angry Dice requires the player to start at the beginning if they ever roll double Angry Faces (the 3). It was offered as part of the VivaJava: The Coffee Game: The Dice Game Kickstarter campaign which successfully funded with four Angry Dice expansions on July 21, 2013.

Does it fit your group?

• Group size. The player count is not recorded for this one.
• Rules load. At 1.0/5 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.
