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.
