My boys LOVE LOVE LOVE using dice. So I wrote some rules for a NANOfictionary game that uses dice. We have not used it yet, so I have no idea how it goes, but I thought I'd share it with you. Let me know if you try it, how it goes. I'll report in when we have triedit a couple times-

 

 

Dice Card Game.

 

Have cards in separate stacks. (character-C, problems-P, settings-S, resolution-R, actions-A)

 

Choose one stack for your base stack (either P, S or R)

 

The base stack (lets say it is S- setting) is in the middles of the table. Flip over the top card. Have a discard pile off to the side. Think up a fun name for the discard pile; like the bootlocker, the closet,  hole,  graveyard, basement, attic......

 

Go around the table in turn, rolling 1 dice.

If you roll a 1-3 draw a character card

If You roll a 4- draw a P

If you roll a 4- draw a R

If you roll a 6-draw an action cards

(if you have P or R as your base, just substitute for the rolls)

You may want to have them written on an index card on the table for all to see as a reminder.)

 

When a person gets 3 C, 1 P, 1R they have to make a short story using the S that if flipped over on the table. Everyone's story uses the same S (or the same base card that is flipped). If yoo draw more than what you need if one type, put it in the discard pile.

 

The 1^st person done gets 3 points

2^nd person gets 2 points

3^rd person done gets 1 point.

Play a specified set of rounds (suggested 3-5)

 

At the end, tally the points.

Hand out place cards or have little prizes for 1^st , 2^nd , 3^rd
