play your dice right
description by si - early 2007
2006's dicegames were in danger of falling down the way side during the summer but as autumn approached, Si came up with Play Your Dice Right. He had
been wanting to design a 'higher! lower!' dicegame for a few months and it was a very simple concept.
You draw up a board with a starting pub where the gang meet. There are 6 pubs above it, 6 below. The first player shouts 'higher' or 'lower' and then we go to whichever pub this is. This carries on until someone is frozen out. You are frozen out by either dropping off the top or bottom of the board or rolling for a pub which has already been selected.
On a record breaking night in September '06 (most people ever to attend a dice night), Si saw off Elly Pegg in a tense finale in the Yorkshire Terrier.
It has been revived in March '07 and since then, JW won game two and Jig won game 3. He is top of the league due to picking up a 'Jig mystery pub' bonus point. Lu is bottom having played two, lost two.
Recently, it has been called Play Your (Vegan) Dice Right in an attempt to get Lu out and get JW and Jig to eat healthier pub snacks. It hasn't made much difference. As i write, we are 2 pubs into the 4th game - no-one yet frozen out.
