Stacks dice game rules

Any flat surface is the board, just throw out the dice and "let the good times roll! Each player has 14 dice of one color and all dice are spilled onto the table. In turn, players place one of their dice on top of an opponent's showing the same number. Placing the fourth die on a stack captures it and takes it out of play.

A die can be rolled for a higher number, but that roll must then be used. Sharply switch directions as you strike the dice, as it rises to the top, hold the cup at an almost 90 degree angle. Repeat this process until all the desired dice are in the cup. Its similar to cradling a lacrosse ball. For reference, look at my video on the introduction. Note: Practice this away from windows until you master it. I am not responsible for broken windows or black eyes. This is the hard part. If you passed step 3, nicely done!

Now, to stack the dice, you finish your current swing, and then slide the cup along the ground as if it were another swing. You almost fool the dice into thinking you just swung the cup again. Then you stop short. Its very difficult to explain. The most important thing to get out of this is that you need to stop short.

It takes practice. A LOT of practice. If you need help, watch videos on youtube. They are a big help. This trick is very impressive, and if you attempt this in public: Expect people to want to examine the dice or cup. People generally won't believe you if you say there is no trick, so go ahead and taunt them. Claim supernatural powers or give them headaches by letting them try to pick up one dice, only for them to miserably fail.

It's fun! Good luck! Reply 6 months ago. Nice video, I get the theory behind it but i'm useless at it haha, more practice I guess :D Thanks!

Then, pile them up in numerical order using the numbers shown on the top of the dice. As you place the dice one at a time, add up your points adding up the numbers shown on the top of each die you pile up. You can stop at any time during your turn, scoring the points only for the dice that are in the pile.

Note: If a player forgets to add up the numbers on the dice while piling them up, then each die in the pile except for the one on the top counts as 1 point.
