Poker Dice
5d8

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?
