Sixes: Opus Edition is a fun dice rolling game that you can play with your friends. When rolling a six, the dice goes to the next person. The game ends either if the hidden timer in the background goes of or, if the Opus Song is chosen, the beat of the song drops. When the game ends, and you're currently rolling a dice, you lose. The more players play, the more dice appear.
