PLAYED FOR YOU

Las Vegas

2 white dice win against 3 blue and 3 green

You try your luck as a hardened gamester in the glitter and glamour of Las Vegas; you can grab different sums of money from six casinos, marked with different dice values.

Each player hold a set of eight dice of one color; six casinos showing dice values of One to Five are laid out and you place money from the stack to each casino, placing notes up to a minimum value of 50.000 Euros.

In your turn you roll all dice or, from the second turn on, all your remaining dice, choose one value and place all dice of this value on the corresponding casino – regardless if and whose dice are already in that casino. If you are out of dice you wait for the end of the round, when all players have placed all their dice. When all players have placed all their dice, each casino is checked in turn: When at a casino there are the same numbers of dice from two or more players, all those dice are taken off. Then the player with the highest number of dice in the casino takes the note of highest value, the other players follow in descending order of numbers of dice at the casino and take one note of decreasing value. If not enough money is available you might get nothing, if money remains, it is placed underneath the casino. For the next round all take back their dice and new banknotes are placed next to the casinos. After four rounds you win with most money.

Las Vegas is an easy, simple and fast game offering lots of fun; it is an ideal introductory game or a light finish to an evening of games play, and it is so nicely aggravating when you roll a Five with a red dice and can use it to cancel out the white Fives in the casino!
