Five Dice! Plus is a Yahtzee* style game with a twist - you can accumulate unused rolls from each turn & then use them in subsequent turns. It's simple - use only one or two rolls & the remaining rolls from that turn are added to the next. If you don't use all the rolls from the next turn, the left overs are added to the next, & so on... Sounds like a piece of cake to just keep accumulating rolls & getting Five Dices, right? Wrong! If you don't think through your strategy, all those extra rolls you accumulated are gone in a flash! FEATURES: - 2 Player multiplayer via Game Center - with Voice Chat. - Game screen color customizer - Dice roll and Five Dice! sounds - Simple interface - Score suggestions highlighted in yellow - Touch the dice you want to keep - Touch the score you want to apply the turn to - High scores saved to top 10 list - List can be cleared - Leaderboards: Compare your scores with friends & other Five Dice Plus! players - Achievements - Daily & All Time game stats *Yahtzee is a registered trademark of Hasbro Inc

Hold'em Dice is a multi player Texas Hold'em tournament played with dice among players on internet connected iPhones. The tournament Buy In is 20 times the small blind ante amount in Hold'em Dollars. Each player initially receives a stake of 100 Hold'em Dollars complimentary. If your current stake is not sufficient to cover the Buy In, you can purchase additional Hold'em Dollars. After the usual antes, each player rolls two Hole dice, that are not visible to other players. Betting starts. After betting the button player rolls the three Flop dice, the Turn and River dice, each visible on each player's iPhone. There is betting after each roll. The high hand, using your two Hole dice and any three of the other five public dice, wins. The tournament, a series of games, continues until one player has won the Buy In stakes of all players.
