📖 About This Game

Dead Man's Dice ... avast there ye swabs, 'tis a pirates' fast 'n' fun game o' dice. Games Above Board publishes the 2 to 6-player game ... with or without a bandana. T-shirts also available. Channel Craft publishes a 2-player version with red and black dice. Pirates take turns rolling (and then stacking) dice to build point-scoring piles o' treasure ... by matching like numbers, numbers in succession or sums of 7. Plundering the opponent's dice is not only permitted but strongly advised. Pillaging is not recommended - you have been warned! Beware the Jolly Roger … double your points and seal victory or, if caught holding Dead Man's Dice, be keelhauled to subtract 7 points. Sending your opponent to Davy Jones' Locker by firing a broadside is one way to sink your opponent but it will cost you in doubloons. Played round by round - the first to score a total of 100 doubloons (points) wins.
