Las Vegas

No. of Player: 2 to 5

Playing Time: 30 mins.

相信當大家看到這遊戲在進行時，都會以為這是一隻賭博遊戲吧！它有骰仔、銀紙、賭場、拉斯維加斯等元素，很難不會有這種想法吧！但其實它是一隻以骰仔點數出現的數目作出比較的 Area Control 遊戲。每人8夥骰，每次擲骰後要選1至6其中一個數字，把這個號碼的骰子全放到該號碼的板上，到最後看誰在每塊數字板上的骰子最多的為第一，可取得該板面額最高的紙幣。互動性非常之高，每放一夥骰子的時候都要考慮哪一夥可令你有大的回報？別人會與你兩敗俱傷或甚至戰勝你？

Developer Stefan Brück at alea describes Las Vegas as "an easy, dice-rolling, fun-and-luck game with a lot of interaction and 'schadenfreude'". Who doesn't love schadenfreude? (Well, other than those being schadened, I suppose...)

In more detail, Las Vegas includes six cardboard casino mats, one for each side of a normal six-sided die. For each mat, players draw money cards until at least $50k is showing, but the amount may end up being a lot more, making that casino more desirable.

Each player has eight dice of a different color, which they take turns rolling. When you roll your dice, you can choose to place them on the relevant casino cards; for example, a die showing a 1 will be placed on the casino mat marked "1". You must place at least one die per turn, although you may place more. All players take turns doing this until all the dice have been used. Finally, the player with the most dice on each casino card takes the money associated with it. In case of a tie, the next non-tied player takes the highest-valued money card at that casino.

Las Vegas rates a 1 out of 10 on alea's difficulty scale.
