09/16/2018 P-Y Pointers: An Interesting 3 Pairs P-Y Pointers: I rolled an interesting 3 pairs today: two 12's, two 6's and both 0's. Yes, even though the zeros look a little different they still count as a pair. In fact these are the highest pairs you can have if one pair is the zeros. And even though the 0's don't contribute to the score total, this is still a good score on that row ! Read More

09/15/2018 Castle Keepsies: A Marbles and 3-D Printing Game Castle Keepsies: So far just noodling around with a new game concept, but I was very pleased with my first experience with 3D Printing. I designed some game parts using Autodesk's Tinkercad and then used 3dhubs.com to print my models. Very much fun and shipping was the biggest expense. Read More

09/02/2018 P-Y Pointers: The big score... P-Y Pointers: The big score in Poly-Yacht isn't getting seven dice with all the same value. That happens too rarely to be fun in the game. Instead the automatic big score is getting two zeros, 0o and 0, on the two ten-sided dice. We call it a ZzZ, and the odds are similar to getting 5 of a kind with six-sided dice. (Check out the next post to compare the actual odds.) Read More
