Vegas is a light but extremely fun dice rolling game wherein players are attempting to win large payouts from six Las Vegas casinos. It is part of the “small box” Alea line, and includes an abundance of dice in five different colors, six cardboard placards representing the casinos, and a stack of currency cards. The six casino placards, numbered one-to-six, are placed in a row on the table. Currency cards are revealed until each casino has at least $50,000 available. Banknotes range in value from $10,000 to $90,000, so there can be quite a disparity present at the casinos. Players each receive eight dice in their chosen color and the gambling excitement begins!
A player’s turn is quite simple: roll the dice and assign dice to one of the casinos. Once a player rolls the dice, he must choose one number and place ALL of the dice displaying that number on the matching casino. For example, Gail rolls all eight of her dice, resulting in 3, 3, 3, 2, 2, 4, 5 and 6. She opts to take the two “2s” and places them on Caesar’s Palace, which is the #2 casino. She now has six dice remaining for her next turn. Once dice are placed on a casino, they are locked and cannot be re-rolled.
Each player performs the same action, rolling and placing dice, until players have placed all of their dice. At that point, each casino is examined to determine the player or players who have the most dice (number of dice, not the value) present. If any players have the SAME numbers of dice, their dice are removed and they will not receive any banknotes. This “tied players lose” mechanism is deliciously evil! The player with the most dice remaining takes the most valuable banknote present at that casino. Any remaining banknotes are distributed to the remaining players in order of descending number of dice. Currency is distributed from each of the six casinos in this fashion, after which any undistributed currency is discarded in preparation for the next round.
Each of the three rounds is conducted in the same fashion, after which players tally their collection of banknotes to determine the wealthiest player, “King of Vegas” and winner of the game. The game generally takes about 30 – 40 minutes to play to completion.
