I used to play a lot of this, although with standard six-sided dice. I recently wore a jacket that I hadn't worn for years, and it had a bag of dice in the pocket.

Years ago, when I was an intern we used to play this during lunch. I got nearly my entire group hooked on this and we played this for months on end. Probably the best cost/play ratio I've ever had for a game. Not the most strategic game, but a really fun press your luck game.

Unfortunately, there is a "board" for it. See picture 46161.
So it doesn't fit this list's criteria.

While some versions include a cloth board, it's essentially just a way to keep score. It is 100% not needed to play the game.

The versions I've seen look like:


I think this still qualifies.

It may have even made the trip on our honeymoon, but I don't think it got played that time.

Yeah, I was trying to show how long it's been around (even 'pre-board gaming' phase.)

But, I just remember when we first played and Alex was already around.

We had taken him to Washington DC and we went up to Baltimore to visit Steve Nystrom. We all sat down (including spouses) and played this several times. Sabrina had me buy a copy when we got back.

I believe this fails the criteria as the game ends when a player reaches a set number of points

Shortstop -- Jose Reyes ? / Reuben Tejada ?

The first position to be considered is shortstop. Jose Reyes has been an incredible performer for the Mets for his whole career. Alderson has said that he considers the signing of Reyes the number 1 priority of the club going into the off season. Reyes hits for average, has some power, is a stealing threat and can field his position very well. The thing that worries me the most with Reyes is his health. He has missed significant portions of the past three seasons. His one-at-bat last game this year in order to give himself the best shot at winning the NL batting title was also evident of a bit of a lack of heart in my opinion as well (the reason for the game choice).

All that said, both the Mets and I would love to see Reyes back next year. Fans chanting "Jose, please stay!" at Citi in the final game show that the fan base really wants their top player around next year as well. My personal opinion is that Alderson should make a good faith multi-year deal. I would say 80-100 million for 5 years or so. This way, the ball is firmly in Reyes' court. If he can get stupid money from another organization, I have no problem letting him go and seeing another club roll the dice with his health. I don't want to see the Mets give him a lowball offer though and always be wondering what would it have taken to convince him to stay. Good news is that Reuben Tejada is a very strong fielding young shortstop whose bat improved a bit this season. He is no Reyes, but he can play.

I think Reyes will be too expensive. I don't think Alderson wants all of his eggs in one basket.

I don't want all of the Mets' eggs in the Reyes basket either -- especially given that the past few seasons have shown that the basket has some holes. If someone wants to pay him crazy money, let him go but I'd be happy with a 5 year 80 million dollar offer for the Mets biggest legitimate star.

I combed over the Goodwill close to my house, and finding nothing was heading out. Then I stopped as my custom dice sense started tingling. I saw this 1979 version of CW peeking out from beneath a pile of stuffed animals. Complete and still has a sticker for $0.79.

From the Description
"Cosmic Wimpout is "More than an Experience, It's a game!" In the family of push-your-luck dice games that garners great love, mostly through word-of-mouth marketing. It was a cult-game phenomenon in the Grateful Dead universe. The game flourished with the help of college students and Deadhead fans.

You play by rolling the five Cosmic Wimpout cubes and get points for each 5, 10, or Flash (triplet) that you roll. You can accumulate points towards the winning total by ending your turn or risking it all, because if you roll and don't score, you lose all the points for that turn, and the next player goes. Thus like life, "Sometimes you are in the cosmos, and sometimes you wimp out." After certain results, a player may choose to end his turn, scoring the points he has accumulated. The first player to reach an agreed-upon score wins (300-600 for a short game with scores kept on paper, 1000-1500 more typically on the game boards), and the game can fit into a small dice tube."

The tube version is a nice, cheap game, you can carry around in your pocket.

Another easily portable dice game I've heard of is Cthulhu Dice

With the tube version of Cosmic Wimpout, you keep score on a sheet of paper anyway. Just roll the dice in front of you.
