If you are playing with a large group, can you combine multiple sets of dice?

Why? Even with 12 people, play goes quickly, and the dice are passed to the person right next to you. However, since every person starts w/ 3 chips, you would need extra chips for a larger group. Or, you can play with coins, peppermints, whatever.

there are often 10 ladies playing this game with me. We use dimes instead of the discs, so using one set only, one can win a pot of $3.00 for fun. One set is fine Takes longer but it's always fun

Yes, but it gets confusing... It moves fast we play with 30 people on New Years and it was fine with one set...Good Luck

I don't think adding more dice would make it more accommodating for larger groups. I believe the one set would be enough. The game rotation is very quick. We have played with as many as 9 people and did just fine with one set. We love the game-enjoy!

Book only, no dice. I have found D6 sets at dollar stores sometimes in different colors. But for this game I just use my RPG dice.

I'm not sure, I've only played the game with 3 other people and we picked 1 of each color to play with. I'm sure you could pick so many pieces and then leave the rest in a draw pile.

Yes, there are six sets of 10 dice in the pack, so you can play with 2-6 people. The fewer play, the higher chances of winning, which makes it more fun in my opinion. I would highly recommend purchasing the card set entitiled "77 ways to play tenzi" along with your party pack. You can play much longer without it getting boring if you use these cards.

Yes! I have mostly played with just two players. If you're feeling ambitious, you can try to control more than one character if you want as well to have that bigger game feel.

The only problem is that as the game progresses, you will have 11 cards in your hand. If you can manage that with the tray tables it would work. Remember that you also have a stack and discard pile. The game is really a lot of fun but changes a lot with the addition of each player.

You may be able to add your own game pieces (use a quarter or a button or something) for extra players. When I play, I often play with more than six, but I do not use the board. It can be a lot of fun to just play with the cards. I hope this helps!

If your students know their facts well, yes. They have to know various ways to make a particular "sum" with the dice they have rolled. You could certainly modify the game using 2 or 3 dice and just have them add or subtract the numbers they roll. It's more of a competitive game kind of like Boggle, except you have to be the first to use your dice to reach the sum on the white die ( die? dye?) does that make since?

yes, each player plays with a single color. So the ten pack allows UP TO ten people, but doesn't require ten to be playable.

You can play with 4, for sure. When I played with 3 people, each person threw down 2 response cards to keep it interesting and funny.

This game can handle up to 5 players on its own. If you mix it with other sets of the game, you can get up to 10.

It's been a while since I purchased it for my boys. If memory serves me correctly, the backgammon board is on the underside of checker and chess board. So no, all three games cannot be played at once.

yes you can combine them, they fit together like a puzzle. i had to buy two sets to make enough to cover the inside of my daughter's playhouse. They also cut really easily with a utility knife.

The dice came in a bag, and I had to be separated by color to use them. The colors are not necessarily as shown, I believe I had a different color and combination. The price was such that separating them into separate colors was no problem for me.

Just instructions. And you need 20 dice to play, 10 white and 10 black (or any other color). And you'll need index cards to keep track of characters, props and releationships.

Theoretically, you can play with as many people as you want. You just need two white dice and two black dice for each person around the table. It would probably end up being really convoluted and complicated with more than five people, and would likely be a really, really long game, and you'd have to worry about the narrative breaking down, but it would also likely be a lot of fun and would be pretty insane near the end. Four is the preferred number, five is the suggested maximum as per the rules, however.

It can, but to get the full effect of the game, I would recommend playing with at least 4. I played with 3 players the first time and I felt that the game didn't have the full charm and effect. Also, it can allow one player to become too strong. 4 or 5 players would balance the game better. It is hard to get those 5 people together everytime you want to play though!
