Each player has ten dice in two colors rolled in pairs, aiming to form the best poker hand with one color. Classic draw poker rules and betting apply. Players can switch between colors but must always roll the same pairs together, creating tension in bluffing and betting.
Who Is This Game For?
Designed for 4 to 7 players aged 10 and up, this game suits families and casual groups who enjoy dice and poker. It's accessible with simple rules and flexible game length, ideal for relaxed sessions without heavy time commitment.
How It Works
Players roll five pairs of dice, each pair consisting of one die of each color. Using Betting and Bluffing with Dice Rolling mechanics, players bet on their best poker hand formed by one color's dice. They can reroll pairs to improve their hand but must keep pairs together during rolls.
