I just love this game! It has a little of something for everyone. You start with some cash, a cup and some poker dice. Sound fun yet?! Well, it get's better! You compete for several different prizes from gold to cash to victory points. If you win what you were competing for with the best hand of dice you win that prize! Even if you don't win something that hand, you have the option of visiting Doc Badluck which can oftentimes be a better prize than what you were shooting for in the first place. The games a good combination of Liar's Dice and For Sale.
The best part about Dice Town is the big dice reveal. It's fun to wonder what the other players are shooting for while choosing what hand to play only to find that you both are aiming for the same prize. That part just makes my competitive juices jump with delight.
Dice Town also meets BB4C's rule #5: Does the game play well with just 2 players?
My husband and I had found that the two player dynamic is especially fun when we are both rolling for the same prize. We find it very satisfying when one of us proves the victor and gets to softly rub it in a bit. (I strongly recommend the softly part. You know how the men folk can be.)
Wait! Not only does Dice Town meet rule #5, it also complies with BB4C's rule #6: Is this game pretty to look at?
You be the judge. Does this game board not look good?! I just love the illustrations and layout of the board.
