I absolutely love this style of presenting board game rules, thank you!! Also, thank you for making the Graphic Design for Game Inventors, I've watched it twice and I'll probably watch again.
Great game James. I’ve successfully played it with a rascally group of 7, 5, 3 and a 3 year old! My seven year old requested we play it again this morning although for some reason we keep calling it pigs in a blanket…
The rules pdf mentions 2's being ducks in the bucket and wild, so at 5:33, could you have stopped there and claimed that you got Three of a Kind, with 1-1-2?
Yeah, I failed to thoroughly review the rules before this shoot because "it's so simple, how could I forget anything" so I guess I'm demonstrating the variant where deuces aren't wild. :) @@LarsThim5150
Hi, Robert. Yes, Ducks in a Bucket falls into the same general category of press-your-luck dice games as Farkle, Zombie Dice, Ship-Captain-Crew, and so forth. If you're familiar with one of these games it's easier to grasp the others. Thanks!

Thanks! Glad you are enjoying them.

I think "pigs in a blanket" is the unofficial name of the version where you forget that the 2's are wild. :)
@@CheapassJames pretty wild that you say that because I have honestly forgot to use that rule when we’ve been playing!!
@@Oddestmoose19 I'll do you one better: I forgot to explain that rule when I made this video!
@@CheapassJames yeah you got me there!
I have played this and find you mostly get zero or a pair. You very rarely get two pair.
How to you play to get the higher scoring combinations?

Ah, I should have read the entire text above. Silly me! 🙂
