In Las Vegas, you roll dice and place them on casino mats to gain majority control and win money cards. Players take turns rolling and placing all dice of one number on a matching casino, requiring tactical choices and player interaction. Ties are resolved by special rules. The game is fast-paced, combining luck with push-your-luck elements for repeated excitement.
Who Is This Game For?
Las Vegas is a family game with simple rules and a 30-minute playtime, suitable for players aged 8 and up. It is ideal for groups seeking a quick, fun experience with light luck and minimal setup. No prior experience is needed to enjoy the game.
How It Works
Each player has colored dice which they roll in turns. On your turn, you must place all dice showing the same number onto the corresponding casino mat (Area Majority). The goal is to have the majority of dice at a casino to claim the money cards there. Push Your Luck and re-rolling mechanics affect how dice are placed. Majority determines who wins the money cards at the end.
