Dice Sports Games That Are Fun.

This is an introduction to a world of incredibly fun games played with dice. No, I am not going to teach you how to gamble. Rather, I am going to show you how just 2 to 8 dice can allow you to play any number of sports games.

Each week we’ll add new Sports Dice Games that can be played solo or against a friend. However, I would first like to introduce you to how these nifty games originated.

Back in the late sixties and early seventies whenever rain kept us inside my friends and I used to play a ton of different dice games. You see when I was a young teen we didn’t have video games, computers, the Internet or cell phones. We didn’t even have cable TV, DVDs, or even VCRs. Even most theatres were located outside where we could drive into them rather than walk.

Well, at least the hot buttered popcorn was better back then. Shoot, even board games were limited to about ten games starting with “Checkers” and ending with “Mystery Date” (No, I NEVER played Mystery Date). About the only games that could be referred to as “interactive” were Mousetrap, Operation and Battleship. All were pretty much boring after playing them a million times. I mean seriously, seeing that plastic cage spiraling down on top of the mouse lost its appeal after the first hundred times.

So we took to the “Bones” and just started making up these games…and we’d play them for hours. Enjoy!
