For my tag I made on the tagboard, I decided to.. well, suggest (and no other intention, serious!) some Taiwanese games using dice. (Qifan, *wink wink*)
Well, I'm not sure if most of you know the dice that people normally play in Karaoke lounges, or more prominently, Taiwan game shows. I'm also not very sure if you guys watch this show on TV, this Taiwanese game show called, Xiao Qi Da Cai Shen, direct (and quite true, 'true' being what the show is about) translation = Petty God of Money.
Sweet.
So, erm, one of the dice games goes like..
You put 5 dices into this container-like-thingo and shake it. And there you get your hand..okay, if this doesn't bring back any memory and/or you completely don't comprehend what the heck am I talking about..
Here's an example:
XXX dice goes: 1,2,4,4,5
YYY dice goes: 1,1,3,5,6
All sorts of combinations made from both sets:
1-3 ones.
1-4 twos.
1-4 threes.
1-5 fours.
1-5 fives.
1-4 sixes.
So, the rules, since some of you might be plucking your hair trying to figure out why is it that way. But I hope that none of you are really plucking out your hair till your rubbish bin gets full (which I doubt it will really get full unless you have a bush growing on your head), because I heard that ever since Beijing 101 got Edmund Chen as their spokesperson, their prices went up. Sadly, not 100% of their customers hair can be, let's say, revived?
So, basically right.. Number 1 can replace any No from 2-6, unless 1 has been called,
eg, XXX calls out 3 ones, then YYY cant use his 1s to substitute any dice number, because the number has already been called out.
So, explaining the MOST complicated thing there is to know about this game, I guess you people can already deduce from...
XXX dice goes: 1,2,4,4,5
YYY dice goes: 1,1,3,5,6
All sorts of combinations made from both sets:
1-3 ones.
1-4 twos.
1-4 threes.
1-5 fours.
1-5 fives.
1-4 sixes.
(PSSST. You do know that every player must have one container, 5 dices each, rights?)

The second game is a little simpler, only need 1 container, and multiple dices (if a large crowd, preferably around like, 8 dices or so, considering the max is 48 points and there's going to be a turnout of 20+? Note to NicTan: If we are going to play this, you might consider the number of dices, yeahs?)
After you shake shake shake, you will start with the number of dices which is in the container,
eg. If there's like, 8 dices, the first number I start with would be, 8.
You can call up to a max. of 3 numbers.
eg. If I start from 8, I can choose to call out, 8 OR 8,9 OR 8,9,10.
And you are supposed to choose in which direction the game play goes, i.e clockwise OR anti-clockwise.
Each player, EXCEPT the Banker (otherwise in Chinese known as the Zhuang), gets a PASS OR a REVERSE chance. Which means, each player, except the Zhuang, can use their PASS OR REVERSE one time only. You cannot use Pass AND Reverse, it's a Pass OR Reverse.
Ya, so anyway, when you reach the number, you lose. And of course, no game is without Forfeits, I seriously don't recommend those forfeits that you used when you were 11 yo, but instead wacking someone's butt.. wacking someone's hand...wacking someone's sole.
Extremely violent right? Never knew I had it in me.
Yeah yeah.
NOTE: The above games are abstracted from the show, Xiao Qi Da Cai Shen a.k.a Petty God of Money.

I really doubt that those reading this post actually READ THOROUGHLY until this point, because they were too bored reading 1/4 through it.
To those who have made it, Congrats!

p/s: So is this game still going on? For those interested can just bring their dice bahs. Not sure about the container, someone please tag to solve this problem.
