Description

[Edit] [History]

This Sid Sackson classic was actually released in the United States, but it never did well enough commercially to stay in print for more than a couple of years. The idea is quite simple. There is a board with all the possible results of two six-sided dice: two through twelve. The object of the game is to move a little marker to the top of three columns by rolling that result, but you need many more sevens than you need twelves, based on the likelihood of each result. During your turn, you roll the dice and place temporary markers onto the board. You can continue moving these markers until either none of your dice match (your turn is over and all progress you've made is gone), or cut your losses and end your turn (placing a permanent marker in your rows). Nice light filler for opening or closing a session.

1 Cards for Can't Stop
Cant Stop Cards.pdf
I've often felt that one should be rewarded for those lucky-yet-unlucky rolls where 3 or 4 dice come up with the same number. After all, as in Yahtzee, these rolls are tough to do in one roll, yet in this game they are sometimes the rolls that bust you because you get fewer pairing possibilities. So, I developed a system of drawing cards whenever you roll a Trip or a Quad. I hope some people can find enjoyment in this addition to the game. This was not made with the permission of Sid Sackson, though I hope that he likes them, too.
