Bau cua tom ca Game w/ chipboard mat and wood dice

Embrace a tradition of Lunar New Year with this exciting game that brings luck, joy and a whole lot of fun to your celebration! The game of Bau Cua Tom Ca is a traditional Vietnamese dice game primarily played during Lunar New Year celebrations. This game set consists of a game board and three six-sided dice. Each side of the dice displays one of the six characters of the game (Deer, Gourd, Rooster, Fish, Crab and Prawn). The game board also displays all six characters that correspond with the dice.
To play, you will need a dealer (the house) and 1 or more players. There is generally no limit to the amount of players that can play which is one of the reasons it makes for a great party game. Each round starts after the dealer shakes the dice (covered in a dice bowl/plate- not included in game). Once the dice have been shaken, players are allowed to guess at the dice and place wagers on one or more character spots on the game board. Once all wagers have been placed, the dealer reveals the dice, by uncovering the dice. If one or more of the dice match the player’s wager, the house (dealer) must pay the player the amount equal to the player’s wager. If multiple dice match the players’s wager, the dealer must pay the player his wager times the number of dice that match. If none of the dice match the player’s wager, the dealer takes the wager.
