Don't L.L.A.M.A. Dice (2021) takes the Lama card game and puts three dice in your hands. At the start of each round a row of numbered cards, one to six plus a llama, is laid out, and you receive six cards of your own. On your turn you roll the three dice or quit the round. Every die that matches a card in front of you lets you discard that card, and three llamas let you ditch a point token you have collected. If nothing fits, you bust and eat minus points. The thrill is knowing when to stop. A very quick push-your-luck game for two to six, best with four.

Who it's for

You like quick dice gambles and pushing your luck, and you want something for a table of friends who enjoy shouting at rolls.

Not for you if…

You want control or strategy. Luck rules here, and a bad streak is just a bad streak.

Vibe's take

Fast, tense and a bit loud. Every roll is a small gamble, and the table groans together when someone busts on a greedy try.
