Candy + Dice = FUN

We celebrated Eleanor's first birthday and played a game where you roll two dice (die?) and if you get doubles you can take candy from a pile in the middle, or from someone else. The timer is set for 4 minutes and it is a free for all as people rush to roll and snag the most candy before the time runs out. I think it is a fun game and for the record:
  • everyone played (no one decided to take a nap instead)
  • nobody got bored (the game keeps your attention)
  • it was over in about 10 minutes (two 4 minute rounds and it is over)
  • the reward was not winning it was candy, lots of candy (many winners)
I am not sure what the real "name" of the game is, if you have suggestions or know what it is, put it in the comments. Anyway I need to send Rebecca the url of my blog, she does not know I even have one, Hannah found it first, big surprise!

    Rebecca doesn't know?!?! That is hilarious.

    That game was awesome- Mya keeps talking about it. I will think about a name and offer suggestions later.

    Yeah I definetly need a rematch since I was unable to roll a single double for the entire first 4 minute round

    The reward for me was winning!! I could care less about the candy, I just loved stealing it from people - even if it was something I didn't really want

    I think the name of the game is Candy+Dice=Fun and I am sad that I wasn't there to play with you guys and to eat the AWESOME birthday cake.

    I'm glad that Hannah outed you. Now you are even cooler!
