SO YOU LIKE TO GAMBLE? 

You’re the type of person who likes to play dice with their life.

You’ve gained fame in your hometown, and amazed all kinds of 

high rollers on your journey across the land. One time, you placed

your entire fortune on a single coin flip… and won. 

You are known only as “Aces”, and you know no limit when itcomes to high stakes. Ever since you called your first dice roll, you

have never guessed wrong. EVER. You’re rich, and have

everything anyone could dream of, yet you feel like you’re still

missing something.

On your journey to a new city, you meet an old woman in the

woods. Somehow, she knew who you were, but you didn’t givemuch thought to it at the time – many people knew who you

were. She spoke once – 

“Aces, if you’re willing to bet your life on the line, follow me.” 

Never to back down from a challenge, you simply laughed and

gestured for her to lead the way.

You’re about to enter the biggest gamble of your life. 

WELCOME TO LIFE DICE !

SETUP:

Each player starts with LIFE DICE, which they roll in secret. The

separate numbers represent the player’s life. The opponent(s)

must guess the numbers on the player’s LIFE DICE by rolling the

LUCK and ACTION DIE together and following the directions based

on what symbol the ACTION DIE lands on. If the opponents guess

the number on the player’s LIFE DIE, that LIFE DIE is destroyed

and goes back to the LIFE DIE pool. When a player no longer hasany LIFE DICE, they are eliminated from the game.

whoever has the highest # gets to go first. The order then

proceeds clockwise.

Players take turns rolling together LUCK and ACTION DIE. If

corresponds to the player’s opponent ( players) or the person

on their right ( + players).

EQUAL: contains GREEN and RED sides. Rolled when the

player has LIFE DICE remaining (starting default).

LUCKY: contains GREEN and RED sides. Rolled when the

player has LIFE DIE remaining.UNLUCKY: contains GREEN and RED sides. Rolled when the

player has LIFE DICE remaining.

The maximum LIFE DICE any player can have at a given point is
