What could you do with DiceJinni?
 
This little app saved my bacon the other day at my daughter's birthday party. She wanted to play twister with all of her friends, but the stupid spinner kept stopping on the same spot, and ruining the game. So I whipped out my N810, installed DiceJinni and made a set of Twister dice instead. The kids loved it, and they played twister much longer than they ever have before. Here is how to make twister.
2d4
left hand, right hand, left foot, right foot
red, blue, green, yellow

I know it's simple and almost not worth mentioning, but I have a set of poker dice somewhere too that used to be a lot of fun. I'll find them and post them here too. They were 5d8 but with cards on them.

In the mean time, what other dice games have you guys made (or could you make) with DiceJinni?

Poker Dice
5d8
40 card deck with 5 - Ace represented
d=Diamonds, h=Hearts, s=Spades, c=Clubs

5d, 6h, 7s, 9c, 10d, Jh, Qs, Ac
5s, 7c, 8d, 9h, 10s, Qc, Kd, Ah
5h, 6s, 8c, 9d, 10h, Js, Kc, Ad
6c, 7d, 8h, 9s, Jc, Qd, Kh, As
5c, 6d, 7h, 8s, 10c, Jd, Qh, Ks

It plays like a single hand of poker, roll em all once and re-roll your discards. I have no idea how fair the roll is (obviously not very), but it's fun to dink around with to kill a few minutes. At least it's equally unfair to all players. I haven't played with them in a few years, but I think I remember them favoring flushes over other combinations.

I have another dice game called Cosmic Wimp Out, but I lost the rules years ago. All of my friends loved that game, but I didn't like it so much, so I don't remember it all that well. I know it was 5d6, but one was a different color and had a special purpose.

Anybody else know any dice games?
