Dicecards: The World's Geekiest Dice Bag in a Deck of Cards
Din prezentare:
The cards feature more than thirty different elements, from regular dice, through gambling games, polyhedral dice, wargaming dice, a full set of roles for Werewolf, dominos, runes, coins, letter tiles, ESP cards, poker chips, short straws, and lots more. Oh, and they are playing cards too!
The website at dicecards.com has a complete list, along with instructions for how to use some of the more exotic elements, and complete rules for a whole bunch of games you can play right from a single deck.
Using the cards in place of a die-roll is simple. You shuffle the cards and draw one (or just cut them, if they're reasonably shuffled already). Then read the value off the die you need. So if you picked the ace of spades, above, and you wanted a d20, then your roll would be 13.
The cards are carefully designed so the probability of rolling any value is the same on the card as it would be with the real die. To make this happen, some cards don't have some dice on them. So if you wanted a d12 roll, and you chose the card above, it doesn't have a d12 on it, so you simply draw (or cut) again. You won't have to wait long. Many dice are on every card, or almost every card. (The d12, for example, is only missing from 6).
Other elements might work in slightly different ways. If you have to decide who gets the next round of drinks, everyone takes a card, and the person with the shortest straw buys.
