Roll Boldly ... Place Wisely

Roll Boldly ... Place Wisely

Our latest push-your-luck dice placement game invites players to compete to become the wealthiest at the table.

Here’s how it works:

At the start of the game, six bet mats are laid out on the table — and every roll brings tough decisions.

🎯 The “Add to 8 to Score 8” Mats
Four bet mats offer the slow-and-steady path to riches. Simply place dice that add up to exactly 8 on one of these mats to earn coins.

For example, place three dice showing 4 + 3 + 1 to total 8 and score 3 coins.

Sounds simple? Think again. Another player can match your total with the same number of dice and block your win!

 

🃏 The “Buy Yun Card” Mat
Spend your dice to purchase powerful Yun cards that can swing the game in your favor.

For example, the Reroll Dice card lets you reroll any two dice — just when you need it most.

 

💰 The “Jackpot” Mat
For the bold risk-takers. Place six dice of the same value to play the jackpot — it’s all or nothing. 

Roll big, and you could rocket straight to the top!
