Dice

Perhaps the most famous dice utilizing game would be snakes and ladders. An ancient indian game of pure chance, where the dice are simply used to randomly determine player movement along the spaces, the person who get to the end first wins. This isn't much use however because I don't want the to be too much luck involved, I want to se if I can use the dice in a more skillful way. When looking monopoly I see the the dice are still used in a random way for movement. The only way I can really see dice being utilized for skill or even a small factor is in games when you play the odds. Warhammer, Dungeons and Dragons or even a few gambling games. These games give you a situation with different outcomes, the skill comes taking the right chances. The dice are simply used to determine these outcomes. Warhammer and DnD use stats to determine characters abilities and when this character enters a situation in the game, the dice are used to determine the outcome, very simple. I will look into this more and try and devise my own system when I look into cards and stats.
