Going to Town is a simple dice game with simple rules that simply hones our mathematical skill at adding numbers. It can be played by children and adults alike. Three die are needed, and a minimum of two players but there can be more. All one needs to do is roll three die together at first and keep the highest rolled number, then roll two die together and keep the highest roll, and finally roll one die and keep the rolled number. Then, they add all the numbers they kept and that is their score. Then the turn passes on to the next person and the game continues for ten rounds. The player with the highest score in the end wins. As anyone can see, this is purely a game based on luck but it can serve to keep little children occupied by providing them a game that simultaneously gives them their addition practice without overtly asking them to do math!

Pig is a simple dice game where each player will roll a die, keeping a running score of the total until they decide to “hold.” However, if you roll a one, the turn is over and you lose whatever score you earned in that round. The first player to reach 100 (or over) wins the game. There are several variations of the game, including two dice pig. In this game, two dice are used and if you roll a double one, you lose your entire score. If you roll a double of any other number, you must take another turn. It’s a game mainly based on luck, but also a level of strategy and probability.
