Dice Mountain is a game my daughter and I invented (I\u2019m sure many other have \u201cinvented\u201d the same game) after I bought her a set of dice at one of the cons I was exhibiting at and she asked, \u201cWhat do you do with them?\u201d to which I responded, \u201cYou play games.\u201d Then I realized I didn\u2019t actually know any games she could play with them so we made a few up on the spot.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The players roll 1 D6 (usually 2 D6 to make each round go a bit faster) in order to \u201cclimb\u201d up and down their mountain. Use you another D6 to mark your place on the board. If it\u2019s right before bedtime and we\u2019ve already played a few games, we\u2019ll start rolling 3 D6 each for a speed round. Sometimes once of us will roll three consecutive numbers (like 4, 5 and 6), thus rocketing up or down our mountain at breakneck speeds. She thinks that\u2019s pretty much the coolest thing ever.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Today I retired our original pencil and paper \u201cgame board\u201d and drew up on a new one on cardstock and let her color it. Looks pretty flippin\u2019 sweet if I do say so myself. (SPOILERS: I do.)\u00a0<\/p>\n

Now go dig out some dice and play some games with your kids.\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

There is nothing not awesome about this. Yes, go dig up some dice and play games with your kids. (Zombie Dice is one of our favorites, but obviously not the ONLY awesome dice game around).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
