Martian DiceSKU: martiandice

Roll great big hand full of Martian dice. Every roll will be some combination of pesky Tanks, sizzling Death Rays, and terrified fleeing Humans, Cows, and Chickens. Set aside Tanks, then decide whether you want to keep the Death Rays (for zapping Tanks) or abduct a type of earthling (for points). Keep rolling and scooping until you are happy with your haul or you run out of Martian Dice. Earn points for your abducted earthlings, but only if you've got enough Death Rays to fight off the Tanks.

Review: In Martian Dice, players are Martians and trying to collect as many Humans, Cows, and Chickens. However the Red Tanks are trying to prevent your goal. On the sides of the die, there are the Red Tank, Human, Cow, Chicken and Martian Ships.

At the beginning of a players turn, roll all 13 dice. Any Red Tank(s) rolled, put it aside. Group the rest of the dice by alike, and take one group. Players cannot take partial; or two or more groups. Then reroll all the other dice. Again, any Red Tank(s) rolled, put it aside. Group the rest of the dice by alike, and take one group. The player cannot take what they have taken already, with the exception of Martian Ships. Continue until there is nothing to take. To score, if there are enough Martian Ships to shoot down the Red Tanks, then score one point for every Humans, Cows, and Chickens collected. If there is a set of Human, Cow, and Chicken, then scores a bonus 3 point. If there are more Red Tanks than Martian Ships, then the player collects zero that round. First player to score 25 points wins.

Martian Dice is a fun, easy to learn, and quick dice game. It is one of my favorite dice games.
