Buddies and I used to like to throw some dice after a night at the bar for a few bucks. Cee lo was always the preferred game. We usually played a dollar a hand, and would up the buy-in by a dollar every round to keep us from gambling all night long.

Cee-lo, or just "dice" is played in a number of ways but we usually played by the winner take all rules.

4 players at a table, each pays $1 to buy in to the game. One player starts by rolling three dice, who goes first is established by whoever rolls highest. When they get a "score" they pass the dice to the left. You can score as follows:

4-5-6 or "trips" is the highest possible score. If rolled the player takes the pot automatically, forgoing other players turns.

1-2-3 is the lowest possible score. You cannot win.

a "point" is scored by rolling a double and the 3rd di is counted as your score (2-2-5) is counted as a 5, (6-6-4) is a 4

Three of a kind beats any point. 1-1-1 beats a 6 for example, with 6-6-6 being the second highest roll below at 4-5-6.

Once everyone has rolled the pot goes to the highest scoring roll and the pot is re-established, but a little pricier each round. As you can imagine it gets pretty exciting later in the game as the pot grows, someone rolls a 4-4-4 and is feeling super confident only to get the pot stolen from them when the next guy rolls trips.

Anyways, that's how you play cee-lo or street dice. I hope you goons try it out.

The orc peasant sidesteps your sword, causing it to strike a pressure plate on the ground, which triggers a barrel of scalding hot liquefied horse fat to pour from the ceiling, burning you all over but especially your genitals. It burns your penis the most.

So there's no real strategy? Just roll once and see who gets the best result? No additional betting based on outcome or ability to affect the game in any way? No ability to pay in to attempt to take it after watching others roll?

Here, I'll speed it up for you. Get four slips of paper. One piece of paper has a single black dot on it. Turn them facedown and everybody draws a slip. Player who gets the dot wins. Repeat.

You're welcome.

Yes, it is a game of chance. Very much gambling.

edit: One of the benefits of it not being a true game of strategy is that its incredibly quick and accessible. Anyone can play, and you can play for 5 minutes or an hour. Its not like Hold 'Em where you'll have some guy who plays competitively online 25 hours a week at the table just rinsing everyone else in whats meant to be a "friendly" game. Its a way to pass the time and move around relatively small amounts of money while hanging out.

We will win the dice game, I am currently below the pond awaiting the stone, I will see the ripples as they come before they reach you and will witness you upwards from the cone awaiting them and read to you the future before it arrives. We will win the dice game.

Shooting dice tip #16: Sometimes when you're shooting dice it's helpful to have a cool nickname with which to intimidate your competitors. Something like Stitches, T-bone, or Fuckface would work well.

"bones" generally refers to dominoes, another pointless game that's fun to play with friends while drinking.

I am enchanted by dice games but unfortunately most of them are just blind luck, where you don't actually even need to be there to play.

Are there any dice games that incorporate some kind of strategy? Or, there must be, but what are they? I'm not looking for some chessmaster stuff but something that is fun but also requires you to DO something would be nice.

You can play a variant where once you roll a score, you can sacrifice it for your next scoring roll. Obviously if you roll a (6-6-2) you've got a chance to score better but every additional roll you run the chance of hitting the 1-2-3.

I have ingratiated myself into many work kitchens by almost always having dice with me, and being eternally eager to throw some cash around.

For those being needlessly reductive, OP left out my favorite part of the game: trash talking! Beyond the thrill and human emotion found in streaks and defeats, it is a blast to tell total strangers that they should leave early. Or offer help by rolling their dice for them so they can finally get some trips.

And a 4-5-6 is called a "leopard" for reasons never properly explained to me.

OP if you're ever in Philadelphia, come play me. Bring money.

Table games dealers are paid in tips, which are called tokes in the casino world. Tokes are pooled. We don't get poo poo if you win and we don't get poo poo if you lose, we only make money if you tip us.

I spent 8 hours on a craps game today, I spent 8 hours on a craps game yesterday, and I'll probably spend 8 hours on a craps game tomorrow. Dice is my life. I used to love playing Risk, I used to love playing Monopoly, but now the thought of playing a game that involves throwing dice on my off time makes me want to throw up. I can answer any of your craps questions.
