Sevens Out: Dice Game Instructions
A player's luck is tested in this game and is played with 2 dice. Keep a score-sheet as well to note down scores. Each player gets a chance to roll the dice. A player continues to roll the dice till he gets a combined score of 7 on both dice. All numbers thrown before 7 are added up and this is the person's score. If on a throw a person gets the same digit on both dice, the total is double while noting scores. Eg. If a person gets 3 and 3, his score is not 6, but 12. The player who scores maximum points is the winner. A variant of this game could be setting a target score in advance and the first person to reach it would be the winner.

Ten: Dice Game Instructions
This game is known by different names in different countries like – dicey, spot, zarf and roll-ten. It is believed that this ancient gambling game from Rome was played by centurions responsible for Jesus' garments during his crucifixion. 3 dices are required to play this game. Every player gets a chance to be the bank. The others place bets on the result of their dice throw. One of the players throws all 3 dice at once. If the outcome of the throw, after adding all 3 dice, is less than 10, then all players lose the bet. In case the total comes to be greater than 10, the banker is the loser and has to pay the others their betting amount. Since odds for the banker losing are higher, most players are reluctant to be bankers.
