Dice Games

6 free games in this category

Dice games mix luck with decisions, which is exactly why families have played them for centuries. Backgammon is the deepest of the group: every roll is random, but choosing which checkers to move, when to build a blockade and when to take a risk is pure strategy, and you can play it against the computer. Ludo and Aeroplane Chess race coloured tokens around the board and send rivals back to the start, Snakes and Ladders is the gentle favourite for young children, and Yut Nori is the lively Korean stick-throwing game played at New Year. Up to four players can share one screen, and bots can fill empty seats.
