… Play Nice (please)
Game Boy Geek (who is quite good at explaining and rating games) calls Biblios one of his all time favorites … and it only takes about 20 minutes to play the game (and not too much set up time either).

This is a great “filler” game (just like Popcorn) as a game can take as little as 10 minutes!

Keep rolling 14 dice until you bust or choose to stop. Four burnt popcorn icons and you bust (your turn is over and you get zero points). 30 points or more wins OR roll all 14 dice with a single or double pop icon to be an INSTANT WINNER regardless of your score!

How To Play:
I remember playing Mill in Grade School. It is not a game that you “buy”. You simply draw your own game board on a piece of paper or even in the sand at a beach. Just draw three squares, one inside another inside another. Then draw circles at the corners of all the squares. Then draw a line through the middle of each of the four sides to connect the squares to each other putting circles at the connection points. Voila. You have your game board:
Next … you need 9 markers for each of the two players. One could use pennies the other use nickels. Or one could use white poker chips and the other use red poker chips. Or use colored stones. Your choice :)
The game starts by alternating placing a marker on the board until all 18 markers have been placed. Then turns alternate moving a marker from one spot to another along a line.
Three of one players markers in a row or column is called a “mill” and is “safe” (ie, the opponent cannot take a marker that is part of a mill).
This is a game that you can setup and play in ten minutes or less. And have lots of fun the whole time. Short but sweet. A casual glance at the game makes it look like everything is just random and you just see who is lucky. However, that is not the case. Yes, you can play it fast and more or less randomly … yet you also can spend just an extra 20 seconds and see some strategies to which tile you place and how you place it! There are definitely many strategies involved with Tsuro! Many!
