Mitchi
A dice game for two or more players.
You don't need the best hand. You only need to avoid the worst.
Each round, the player left with the worst hand takes the points. Points are bad: the fewest points wins.
You need: two dice, a pen and paper, and at least one other player.
Mitchi in 60 seconds
- Everyone rolls one die. The highest roll starts.
- The starting player rolls both dice, up to three times. The number of rolls they use is the roll limit for everyone else.
- Everyone else takes a turn, up to the roll limit. You only need to beat the worst hand so far.
- The best hand is a Mitchi, a 2 and a 1. Then doubles, then six-high down to three-high.
- The player left with the worst hand takes the pot: 1 point, or 2 points for each Mitchi rolled.
- The game ends when a player reaches the point limit, usually 25. The fewest points wins.
