Gambler (1975)

About this game

Players move around the board conducting various games of chance (horse racing, lottery, lucky number, etc.) in order to win money. The first person to reach a certain money level wins the game. The centerpiece of the game is a unique dice shaker that randomizes the dice and has them fall into the handle so that players can bet on the order that the dice fall in (where the highest die will be located, for example).

Does it fit your group?

• Group size. Works with 2 to 4.
• Rules load. At 1.1/5 this is a light game — explain it in a few minutes, good for a table that has not played much.
• Age. The publisher suggests 10 and up. That rates the rules rather than the artwork, so judge the box yourself for younger players.
