What to Expect
You roll your dice, pick exactly one rolled number, and place all dice showing that number on one of six casinos. After all dice are placed, casinos are scored: ties cancel out and first and second most dice claim rewards. The game mixes Dice Rolling with Area Majority decisions in short rounds.
Who Is This Game For?
Designed for families and casual strategists (ages 8+), Las Vegas supports 2–6 players and fits game nights or shorter sessions. Rules are easy to learn but reward tactical placement choices.
How It Works
Players roll their available dice and choose one number; all dice with that number go to the corresponding casino. Play continues until everyone has placed all dice; then each casino is resolved and rewards assigned to the top placements. Core mechanics listed: Dice Rolling and Area Majority / Influence.
