1-12+ players // 10 mins // Easy
Easy to learn, setup and play. One person rolls one die and flips one card that everyone uses (so no claiming that you got the bad cards:) Everyone draws the shape shown on the die in the row, column or grid area specified by the card.

2-5 players (best with 3) // 10 mins // Easy
Perfect game to play while waiting for the others to arrive for your game day! Just a handful of dice that you can roll into the box cover so it needs very little table space. Or just put the dice in your pocket or purse so you can play anytime you have a few minutes to spare!
