Burger Dice is a casual press-your-luck dice game for 2 or more players ages 8 and up. A game lasts between 15 and 20 minutes. Players take turns rolling dice and making burgers with their ingredients based on a set of simple rules. Score points for dice you play but be careful: waste too many ingredients and you’ll get kicked out of the kitchen! Be the player with the most points at the end of the game to be declared the Chef de Burger!
Whoever ate a burger most recently goes first. Players take turn rolling 3 dice at a time and placing them in burgers based on a set of simple rules (must have buns, no duplicate ingredients, etc.). You get to score points for completed burgers when you end your turn. Any die you cannot play is considered waste and moved to your waste pile. If at any time you have 4 or more waste dice your turn is immediately over and you score no points.
The game is driven by the custom dice, each one featuring 2 buns and 4 ingredients (burger, pickles, ketchup, and cheese). Using these with the burger building rules the players make their rolls and place the resulting ingredients to create burgers. Players can stop any time they want (before rolling) and score points for their completed burgers (1 point per die) or they can keep rolling and risk losing it all!
