What to Expect

In Don't L.L.A.M.A. Dice, players roll dice to discard cards and avoid negative points. You must decide when to stop or continue rolling to shed your cards. Rolling three llamas lets you discard penalty tokens. The round ends when all cards are discarded or all players pass. This game offers quick, tactical risk management for 2 to 6 players.

Who Is This Game For?

This game is suited for families and casual players aged 8 and up who enjoy light dice games. It's a family game with a short playtime around 20 minutes and requires no prior experience, with simple rules easy to learn.

How It Works

Each round, seven cards are placed as the llama row and you receive six cards in hand. On your turn, you may roll three dice or pass. Dice matching your cards allow you to discard cards; three llamas let you discard a penalty token. If no dice match, you must take cards from the llama row. The round ends when cards are gone, the llama row is empty, or all players pass. The goal is to manage your hand and avoid penalty points.
