One-die Games
The games use simple game mechanics. You roll the die a number of times. After each roll, you record the number rolled on the piece of paper. You write the first number at the top of the sheet, and write the number from each subsequent roll beneath the last recorded number forming a column of numbers. Then you compare the numbers. Based on these comparisons, you score points. There are a number of games you can play using different comparisons. 1. Compare each roll to the previous roll. If the numbers match, you score a point. 2. Compare each roll to the previous roll. If the numbers do not match, you score a point. 3. Compare each roll to all previous rolls. If the current number matches any previous number, you score a point. 4. Compare each roll to the previous roll. If the current number is within one of the previous number (the same number, one number higher, or one number lower), you score a point. 5. Before each roll after the first roll, guess if the number rolled will be higher or lower than the last recorded number. If you are right, you score a point. (If the number is the same, re-roll the die.) 6. Before each roll after the first roll, guess if the number rolled will be higher or lower than the last recorded number. If you make an unlikely guess (higher for 4 or 5, lower for 2 or 3) and you are right, you score 2 points. If you make a likely guess (lower for 4, 5, or 6, higher for 1, 2, or 3) and you are right, you score 1 point. (If the number is the same, re-roll the die.) 7. Compare each roll to the previous roll. If the numbers add up to 7, you score a point. 8. Each time you roll the die, cross-off pairs of numbers that add up to 7. (Use each number once only.) For each pair of numbers that you cross-off, you score a point. 9. At the beginning of the game, guess what number each consecutive pairs of numbers will add up to. When they do, you score a point. 10. After each roll, look for a series of three or more consecutive numbers, including the last number rolled, that forms a sequence. The numbers can be in any order. If the last three numbers were 2, 3, 1, you score 3 points. If the last five numbers were 1, 4, 5, 2, 3, you score 5 points. Each game can be played as a solitaire game or as a group game for two to four players. For a solitaire game, roll the die ten times. Start a second column at the top of the sheet to record your scores. Add the points you score to your previous score until the game ends. For games with more than one player, use a single column for recording all of the rolls, and separate columns for each player's scores. Roll the die, and record the first number. Chose one player to start the game. Then each player in turn, beginning with the starting player and moving clockwise around the circle, rolls the die. For each game, each player rolls the die ten times. (For the 9th game, each player must choose a different number.) There may also be games played with a penny, a pencil, and a piece of paper. But that's a different story. Copyright (c) 2010 - Paul Hoemke. All Rights Reserved.
