Ok, I don't see it in the data base. I've forgotten how to add a game. I don't care. In essence, it's Yahtzee played with a hand of cards with a PICTURE OF A SINGLE DIE on each card. For some reason, I thought that would be cool for some kind of game variant I hadn't EVEN thought of yet, so I bought two decks at Wal-Mart while looking for cheap ammunition.

Each deck includes 12 Combo Cards, 1 Starter Card (a reminder of who goes first), 12 Chance Cards, which apparently gives you a chance to outscore an opponent who has otherwise outplayed you by an additional luck mechnaism, 1 Combo sheet, Reminder card (I can't figure which is which and what they are for) and Rule sheet, which, so far, is unread.


BUT THE MAIN THING IS - 84 cards with pictures of a DIE face or WILD card or cards that have 2 opposite DIE faces such as a 1 and a 6, 2 and 5 or 3 and 4 in THREE SUITS, Red, Blue and Yellow.

I'm sure they won't be around forever but I have no idea what I'm going to use these for. If you ever wanted to substitute card drawing for dice rolling to manipulate the bell curve, buy a couple decks. They're good quality playing cards. The worst thing that would happen is you'll play Yahtzee with them.
