OK, here's a little game I'm working on. It needs some tweaking, but it's sort of fun to play already. You can make it at home as long as you have paper, pencil, and three six-sided dice. It's called Number Sandwich.
Make two grids as shown in the picture at the bottom of this post. The goal is to fill up the grid first. Each turn, you have the opportunity to fill up one row of the grid. Here's how: first, you roll 2 dice. Then you decide where you want to put those two numbers; the first box of the row must be the lowest number of the three boxes. The last box of the row must be the highest number of the three boxes. The middle box of the row must contain a number between those two.
Then, you roll the third die, and if it fits the spot you left open, that row is filled. If not, the row is left empty and your opponent takes their turn.
FOR EXAMPLE: You roll a 1 and a 3 you would probably put the 1 in the first box and the 3 in the second box. Then you roll the third die and get a 6. Since it fits in the remaining spot, you have filled the row!
There are other little things, too. If your third die doesn't fit in the space and you fail to fill the row, your opponent may re-roll on of their dice on their next turn. However, if you decide to give up after rolling your first two dice (if you roll doubles for instance) you can forgo rolling your third die, leave the row blank, and your opponent doesn't get the usual re-roll.
I'm toying with some other rules, too. Anyway, try it out. It's not very strategically deep, but it is a bit entertaining. I want to give it some more angles, so we'll see where it goes.
