Five Dice or Fib Finder?

Which one suits you?

Five Dice

Five dice, three rolls, thirteen boxes on the score sheet: every turn is a small choice between playing safe and taking a risk. The sheet adds itself up, bonus and extra five-of-a-kinds included.

Pick Five Dice when you want a laid-back dice game where kids can keep up.

Fib Finder

A baffling question with a blank, and everyone makes up a believable wrong answer. Then all the answers appear side by side with the truth: spot the real one and you score – fool others and you score too.

Pick Fib Finder when you love spinning a tale and know each other well enough to fool one another.

What they have in common

  • Both work for 3–6 players.
  • Both come free with Gather and need no account.
