Hello Mexico Dice Player! Finally a Mexico Dice app that is fully featured and easy to use. This allows you to focus on the socializing and the fun! Did someone forget to bring the dice or a scorecard? Don’t worry…with this app, you can play anytime, anywhere, and with anyone! Mexico Dice rules vary by community; however, this App will roll the dice, display the results for the current Round, and tabulate totals for the entire game! Game Rules below....but you can always change them according to your local play. 1) Rules: Mexico Dice can have different local rules. This App can support most of them. 2) How To Win: The last player with a Life wins the game. Players can achieve this by getting the highest dice roll, or more importantly, avoiding the lowest dice roll on each round. Before play, players must agree on the number of rounds and tie breakers. 3) How to Lose: In each round, the player(s) with the lowest dice roll will lose a Life. If a player has no more Lives, they are out of the game. 4) Lead Player: The lead player can roll the dice up to 3 times, which then determines how many times the other players are allowed to roll during a round. Only a player's last dice roll counts. The losing player on a round becomes the lead player on the next round. 5) Dice Values: The highest roll is 2-1, called "Mexico". The next highest rolls are Doubles (e.g. 6-6, 5-5, etc) with 6-6 higher than 5-5, etc. Finally, any dice roll with two mixed values are in numerical order (6-5 is higher than 6-4, etc). When two dice are combined to form a value, the higher number always goes first. Example: A player rolls 3 and 6. So the value is 6-3. 6) "Mexico": If any lead player rolls a 2-1 "Mexico", that player has the highest value and then sits out of the current round. The turn is passed to the next player who then becomes the new Lead Player and determines the number of rolls for the current round. 7) Strategy: As a Lead Player, use fewer rolls since they give other players more chances to beat your score. Each player uses their own device/app...although people can share if they just want to use the random dice feature. This app features unique customization and game options to tailor the game to your specific needs. -Enter a Custom Title. -Enable various Sound Options and Special Effects. -Choose from a variety of Game Colors. This app supports up to 6 Lives for each game. The App also displays the last 3 rolls (on a rotating basis) and keeps track of all of the dice combinations totals. In the Game Tab, be sure to decrement the "Lives Left" counter whenever you lose a round. This app will automatically select 2 random device with each press of the ROLL button and save the results on both the Round and Game Level Summary Board. To clear and erase the Round or Game Results, press the corresponding Trash Can buttons. A simple design ensures that players of all ages can join the fun. This game can be a new holiday tradition for your friends and family! You get all the features with no annoying banner ads. We do not collect any personal data. Enjoy! MKE Things, LLC
