How to Play
1. Have each player choose a dice color and take two dice. Place a dice in an additional color in the center of the table, and have each player stack one of their dice on top to form a dice tower.
2. Have all players slide their second dice to crash into the dice tower at the same time, causing the tower to crash down.
3. Look at the two numbers for each dice color; any player with matching numbers earns a point.
4. The first player to 10 points wins.

Conversation Starter
Many games require sets of four or five matching numbers to win. In this game, all you need is one matching pair to get a point. It’s a nice reminder that sometimes success doesn’t have to be overwhelming or complicated (an important message for perfectionists like me!). Are there some things you’re doing that could work just as well with only 95% perfection instead of 100%—with a match of two instead of a match of four or five?
