Las Vegas*
Las Vegas is Ravensburger's 2026 refresh of Rüdiger Dorn's classic dice game: a quick family game for ages 8 and up in which you spread your dice across six casinos to grab the biggest cash prizes. Compared with the original, the new edition plays tighter – fewer rounds, powerful Big Dice and larger casino rewards – and adds a sixth player.
What's it about?
Six casinos, each tied to a die face from 1 to 6, offer banknotes every round. Whoever has the most dice in a casino at the end of the round takes the top prize. After the last round, the richest player wins.
How it plays
- Roll all the dice you still have.
- Pick exactly one number you rolled and place every die showing it on the matching casino.
- The next player rolls, and so on until everyone has placed all their dice.
- Score each casino in turn: ties cancel out, and the remaining players with the most and second-most dice collect the money.
What makes it special?
The tie rule is the heart of the game. Matching someone's dice count knocks you both out – and often hands the big prize to a third player. That turns a luck-driven dice game into a sly game of blocking and baiting. The refresh adds Big Dice that carry more weight and a One-Armed Bandit variant.
Who is it for?
Families and mixed groups who want a short, lively dice game with a bit of tactics; a game takes about 40 minutes. Fans of the original get a streamlined, more compact version.
