Roll For It

2-4 players (best with 4) // 30 mins // Easy

Just a small deck of cards and 6 small dice per player, so it’s easy to carry with you and needs very little table space. Try to roll your dice to match the dice shown on one of the three cards before others do. Repeat until one player hits the points needed to win.
