Description
[Bone Dice Game]
I'm posting the Demonian Bone Dice Game here in Writer's Gallery because it has been part of many of my short stories.
If you have followed my story, you will know about the Bone Dice game. Every World and every tavern or back alley player has variations of the rules.
These are the basic rules of Bone Dice. Print five copies of the dice template, cut out the template and glue them together. I didn’t draw any images for the dice. If anyone wants to draw dice sides and share you are welcome to.
Dice:
Lady Death
Bone Skull
Graveyard
Tombstone
Leg Bone
Arm Bone
Game played with five six-sided dice.
Lady Death beats any one die, or a two in Grave Yard set
Three in the Grave Yard beats one Lady Death
Bone Skull, Leg Bone, Arm Bone, as a set beats Lady Death (called a skeleton roll)
Bone Skull beats any one die except Lady Death
Graveyard beats any one die of either Tombstone, Leg Bone, Arm Bone
Tombstone beats one of either Leg Bone or Arm Bone
Leg Bone beats Arm bone
Graveyard and Tombstone as a set beats one Bone Skull (a two bone skull set nulls the Graveyard and Tombstone set, makes a draw between attacker and defender)
Tombstone and Leg Bone as a set beats one Graveyard (a two Graveyard set nulls the Tombstone and Leg Bone set, makes a draw between attacker and defender)
Leg Bone and Arm Bone as a set beats one Tombstone ( a two Leg Bone set nulls the Leg Bone and Arm Bone set, makes a draw between attacker and defender)
First roller is attacker, Second roller is defender
Example
Attacker Rolls
Graveyard
Leg Bone
Lady Death
Leg Bone
Arm Bone
Defender Rolls
Graveyard
Bone Skull
Arm Bone
Leg Bone
Leg Bone
Defender has a skeleton, beats the Attackers Lady Death.
Defenders Graveyard is a draw on Attackers Graveyard
A set was made on the Defender, Attacker has to drop lowest dice, in this case, the Arm Bone
Defenders 2nd Leg Bone is a draw on Attackers Leg Bone
Roll is draw. No winner

I may have to try this out. I think I have some mahogany scraps that could be cut into 3/4" cubes and labeled. If nothing else it would keep me out of WalMart for a few days.

I like it. If you get these stories published in book form, you could also have a set of these dice made to be sold with (or in complement to) the book

Thanks, I never thought of that, good idea.

Interesting game!!

That's very cool. Thanks for the rules! Packaging a set of dice in a "special edition" box set would be outstanding! Maybe five black with ivory print and five ivory with black print. (Makes sense for the attacker and the defender to have their own dice, and of different colors.) Jeff is pretty brilliant. :)

I don't think you'll have to wait long to get published. Your writing is as good as any I have read.
