Right, so I've come up with a new idea for a fun mini-game which combines equal aspects of chance and luck.
What you need: 5 d6 for each player (different colours for each player) and 1 counter (could be a dice aswell )
How to play: First, place the counter about 3 feet away (NOTE: it really doesn't matter how far away the counter is, just as long as all the players are happy) then take it in turns trying to roll your dice as close to the counter as possible, making sure you all roll from the same point.
Once all the die have been rolled measure how far away your die are away from the counter in inches (NOTE: again, it doesn't really matter what unit of measurement you use, as long as everyone uses the same unit). Now for each die, multiply the number on the die with the distance it is from the counter e.g. a dice 2" from the counter showing a 2 would be 4 points, whereas a dice 6" away showing a 1 would be 6 points etc.
Each player then adds up their points and the winner is the one with the lowest points.
So thats the game; let me know what you think of it and if you have any questions, please ask

bacci with dice. Sweet.

Seems easy and fun enough. I will give it a try whenever I am bored sometime.

I'll play this. Will probably keep me from actually playing a game of 40k some nights...damn you...

What happens when someone hits the counter?
