Description
In the dice-rolling game Divvy Dice — first released as Man muss auch gönnen können ("You have to also grant others something") — players determine their own targets for what to roll by buying cards during the game to build their own score sheet.
All players are involved in the game because if the active player re-rolls their dice, then everyone else can use those results for themselves.

Quotes (from this video)
- This is probably one of the most unique roll and writes I think I've ever played.
- It's got a lot of challenging things in it and it's not a simple roll and write.
- You're taking tiles out of this central area, you're drafting tiles, and then you're placing those tiles into your grid on your paper.
- And then the scoring is based on sets of symbols.
- It uses very minimal components, just a pencil and paper.
- We're doing a giveaway.
- We'll be talking about the two games that we're being we'll be giving away actually today so if you're looking to win a copy of silver and gold or sonara then make sure you comment down below and check out our other videos to get even more.

- This is one of the biggest, longest games I've ever played.
- It's the bad quality's bad.
- This one is fine. Um this one is not as bad as the other one I played was that you go around and you find stuff. It doesn't look very good though, does it?

- Leaders is a very, very excellent two-player game.
- This is a re-implementation of Survive: Escape from Atlantis.
