Dice game - Definition and Overview

Dice games are quite universal. Though they are clearly games of chance, as for example in casino games, they are also used under the hood for interpersonal interactions.

Dice also appear as a random device, for example in games of status. Pure games of dice include:

• Mia
• Liar's dice
• Dice 10000 / 5000 / 1000
• Yahtzee
• Shut the Box
• Craps
• Mr. Three
• Kuriki
