I have my own dice game that I play with a Spongebob Squarepants cup from Daiso and two dice. It’s an incentive to participate in class. It’s called…
Dais Geim 다이스 게임.
if you roll:
an 8, you roll again. If you roll 3 consecutive 8s you get 8 stars (one sticker per 3 stars) 囍. So far three have rolled 2 consecutive 8s but none has rolled a triple 8.
snake-eyes or boxcars gets you three stars or one sticker
3,5, 10, or an 11 gets you a double star.
a 6 gets you a single star.
a 7 gets you a sarcastic “lucky 7!” and no star.
a four 四 gets you a minus star (I only use this when I call it deinja dais as opposed to happee dais).
a 9 gets you get a nein!
and nothing.
