These dice are cute. The blister pack kind of fell apart inside the shipping box, but I suppose that's okay. I was kind of expecting the Koplow tube version; now I have to find some kind of cute packaging. Maybe a tiny pouch from the Gamer's Bag?

UPDATE: This is a quick, fun little dice game. The fact that 3s eat other dice make the re-roll decisions much harder than other games like it. Not really fun-equivalent to Cosmic Wimpout, but close, and less arcane in rules.

Unfortunately, the Gamer's Bag seems to have dissapeared -- repurchasing in a tube may be my best option for a reasonable storage solution!

Not too difficult, not for strategy lovers. A nice inbetween game though for a long gaming day.

Dino Dice are cool. I had a D&D wizard once who liked to use these dice for his fire ball spells. No particular reason, just looks good. The game's ok, but it's a bit like Yahtzee without the contracts.

Yahtzee? Sure. But you'll have to take my word that watching my kids act like Tyrannosaurs when they eat the plant-eaters is worth a 5.

Decent points based dice game, at least for what it is. Almost all luck.

Like Yahtzee but simplified; we only want 2 to 5 of the same number. And we can re-roll as many times as we want. The catch: a T-Rex (#3 on each die) eats another die.

Just a variant of many other push-your-luck dice rolling games.

Yahtzee Jr., except with T-Rex's that eat your dice! Fun and easy for very young children. It is a great way to get young kids to learn addition.
