Name | Brain Bones | ||
 |
Type | Puzzle | ||
|
Description | An addictive dice-rolling game with multiple levels of strategy. At first it looks simple, just try to make pairs after rolling five dice. It takes planning, however, as you must choose the pairs judiciously, because poor planning can levy a large penalty. | ||
|
Rules Summary | Roll the dice and swap them around to create two scoring pairs. The first time a scoring pair is played, the score will be -100 points. After five scoring pairs have been played, your score will be zero. If you have 6 or more scoring pairs, the numbers in the 'Values' column will be the value of each scoring pair thereafter. The game is over if one of the discard dice is discarded eight times. The object of Brain Bones is to score as high as possible. | ||

A game of Brain Bones in action. I can swap around the dice to make any combination I need. I cannot discard the two, because it's not on the list of available discards. Some of the scores on the list are at -100 because I haven't yet gotten 5 pairs. You've really gotta cluster up your plays into as few pairs as possible, because that's a pretty big penalty if you can't get 5 of them. |
