Dice games
70 games catalogued, 4 of them written up in full so far. Search the list, or ask a question about a specific rule.
Dice games are mostly push-your-luck: keep rolling for more, or stop and keep what you have. The interesting part of each one is where that line sits, so every page says what the sensible stopping point is rather than leaving you to work it out over twenty games.
Scoring tables are the other thing worth checking. Farkle in particular is played with at least three different values for three pairs, and the table on its page is the one most groups use.
