Objective of the Game
The objective of the game "Las Vegas" is to collect as much money as possible through strategic dice placement. Each player aims to win the most money by placing their dice on various casinos.
Game Components
- 6 Casino Boards, numbered from 1 to 6
- 40 Banknotes, with values of 10k, 20k, 30k, 40k, 50k, 60k, 70k, 80k, and 90k
- 5 sets of dice, each with eight dice of a specific color
Number of Players and Setup
The game is suitable for 2 to 5 players. Each player receives a set of eight dice in one color. The casino boards are placed in the center of the table.
Gameplay
- Distribute the Banknotes:
-
At the start of each round, randomly distribute banknotes with a total value of at least $50,000 to each casino board. The banknotes are placed face up on the boards, with varying amounts on each board.
-
Rolling the Dice:
-
Beginning with the starting player and proceeding clockwise, each player rolls all their dice.
-
Placing Bets:
- After rolling, choose one of the numbers rolled and place all dice showing that number on the respective casino. The dice remain on that casino until the end of the round.
-
Players take turns rolling their remaining dice until all dice are placed.
-
Casino Payouts:
- Once all players have placed their dice, proceed to the payout phase.
- For each casino, determine which player has the most dice. That player receives the highest-value banknote on that casino.
-
If there is a tie for the most dice, those players receive nothing, and the player with the next highest number of dice receives the banknote.
-
End of Round and New Setup:
- A new round begins with the redistribution of banknotes.
- The game ends after four rounds, and the player with the highest total value in banknotes wins.
Strategic Tips
- Timing with Rolls: Decide carefully when to commit a large number of dice to potentially discourage others.
- Avoid Ties: Try to avoid ties as these can result in lost opportunities.
- Focus on Banknote Values: Always keep an eye on which banknote offers the most points to place your bets effectively.
Enjoy Las Vegas, and may luck be on your side!
