Easy Come, Easy Go (2004)

"Easy Come - Easy Go: The Dicey Game of Changing Forces. Try your Luck! Win Fabulous Prizes with a simple roll of the dice. Win the game by holding on to your prizes as other players attempt to beat the odds and take them from you. Hit it big with Easy Come – Easy Go!"

As his Wheedle was to Pit, Knizia's Easy Come, Easy Go is to Yahtzee. In this game of luck and card stealing, players roll 4 dice (numbered 1-5 and 0), trying to match a combination on one of the nine Fabulous Prizes cards: four of a kind, two pairs, a straight, exactly 13, three of a kind with all odd/even numbers, etc. All 4 dice must be used. If they match a card they take it, either from the center of the table or from another player's collection. If unsuccessful after the first roll, the player must choose at least one die to "freeze," then can re-roll the rest till they either win a prize or use up the dice. The first player to have 3 prizes in their collection and keep all three through the next two turns wins the game.

The prize cards are large cardboard tiles illustrated with humorous pictures by John Kovalic. The game also comes with a lined leatherette dice cup.
