Passe-Dix
The die is one of those things that are used in a wide variety of games. Because of the element of chance attached to playing with dice, games become more interesting and unpredictable. But using the dice itself for a game (and not as merely a part of a game) has been done since the die’s early days, and it still is being done today as a means of acquiring cash and as a form of amusement as well.
The Passe-Dix is known in English as the game of Passage. It makes use of three dice, involves a banker all the time, and can be played by an unlimited number of players. Each player places down money for the turn, and in a game of more than two, the gamester at the time is considered the banker for that moment. The player rolls the three dice, and the goal is to get a value above tenin order to be able to stay in the game. A player that rolls a value below ten loses his stake in the game to the banker, and when the player rolls a value above ten, the banker must double his stake.
Now the English game, Passage, quite differs from the passe-dix. In passage, the players try to guess a number that will show up and will give points depending on the results of the roll. If a player gives a number between one and six and that number shows up on one die, then the player gets one point. If if shows up on two dice, then the player gets three points. If the two dice rolls numbers that amount to the number guessed, then no point is granted. The first one to reach ten points wins the game. It’s up to you which game you will choose to play, although the passe-dix is the one with a structure made for betting.
