あるちん (Aruchin) is a dice gambling game from Japan. Derived from the popular gambling game Cee-lo, the Japanese version is called Chinchiro (チンチロ) or Chinchirorin (チンチロリン). The designer describes Aruchin as the ultimate evolution of Chinchoririn.
In Cee-Lo, players roll three d6 only, and bet on the outcome. There are various combinations that trigger scoring, such as an instant win or an instant loss, and the game is fundamentally a gambling game.
Aruchin develops this using 81 special action cards that can be used to alter the results of dice rolls, or of the betting outcome.
The game was originally published in a Trial version for 2-6 players, and then in a larger version with higher grade components but for 2-4 players. The publisher also sold expansion score boards to allow more players.
