There's not much to it. Tap to stop the spinning light when it's at the top of the loop. Do it 10 times in a row and the game speeds up. Miss and it's game over. The all-time high score is currently 65 and it was set years ago. Can anyone beat it???

About

Dice 12

Features
Read full description

Dice 12 is a fun and easy-to-play dice game. Dice 12 allows you to play against your device (iPad or iPhone) or against a friend by taking turns on your device. Using their 6 dice rolled and shuffled randomly, each player must fill their scoring grid (12 x 12) for each number from 1 to 12 by rolling and setting aside the dice. Selecting dice for a number from 1 to 6 is done by selecting all single dice of the same number at the same time and then clicking on the single dice set aside button.  The selection of dice for a number 7 to 12 is done one pair of dice at a time (which gives this number by adding them) then by clicking on the button to put aside dice in pair. Detailed game information on how to play, dynamic instructions and move suggestions are included to ease game learning.
