Dicey Waters
Reroll pirate dice for treasure, but a third skull wipes your turn.
Who it's for
You like push-your-luck dice games like Can't Stop or Zombie Dice and want a pirate twist. Good for a lively table of three to five.
Not for you if…
You dislike luck or being cursed by the dice. Skulls can destroy a promising turn.
Vibe's take
Cheerful gambling: each reroll feels like it could be the best or worst one yet. Cheers and groans fill the table.
About this game
Dicey Waters, known in Germany as Piraten Kapern, is a pirate push-your-luck dice game. You roll eight special dice, set aside any skulls, and decide what to keep and what to reroll. Hit a third skull and your turn ends with no score, so greed is dangerous. Matching dice score in sets: three of a kind is worth 100, four of a kind 200, and it keeps growing. It is a race for the most booty, fast and loud around the table.
