Toys and Games Reviews of LCR - Left Center Right Dice Game - Random Color
Customer Review: Keep It Totally Simple
Summary: 5 Stars
This game may be totally simple, but it is so much fun and can be played with variations. We introduced this game to my 4 yr. old nephew and played with pennies. He learned to count, remembered his left from his right and won some pocket change! He really got a kick when he rolled Dots and didn't have to pay anyone but we adults rolled a L,C or R and had to pay. As a Red Hatter, my chapter has played this game several times and have just as much fun as when playing Bingo, Bunco or Po-keno.
Directions:
* To begin, you need 3 players and 3 chips per player
* The first player throws the LCR dice.
* The number of L's, C's, R's or DOTS rolled, determine where that players chips go.
* The number of L's indicate how many chips to pass LEFT.
* The number of R's indicate how many chips to pass RIGHT.
* The number of C's indicate how many chips to put in the CENTER POT.
* DOTS are neutral-no action taken.
* When a player has 1 or 2 chips, they roll 1 or 2 dice. If a player is out of chips, they are still in the game, but passes the dice to the next player. The LAST player with chips is the winner and collects all the chips in the CENTER.
Customer Review: small cost, much fun! Left, Center, Right Dice Game
Summary: 5 Stars
This is a really cheap $$$ game, but great, great fun! Played it first with girlfriends for pennies, then the guys had to hike it up to nickles....moves fast, never gets boring and the balance of winnings for the players is constantly changing.
In spite of that however, my husband and I taught our 4 year old grandson how to play in the first 10 minutes and he loved it. Since it involved chips this time, he had to count, remember what the spots on the dice meant, take his turn, do what the dice said and play by the rules. Because the number of chips (or coins) is constantly moving from player to player, it kept his interest because even when he lost it all, he could win back depending on the dice of the next players. He even remembered it two weeks later and asked to play it again. I would highly recommend it for any age group. 6 or 8 can play as almost as quickly as 3; I would always have an adult with the younger set, just because the chips or coins and even the dice, could cause a choking hazard if swallowed and that could be very serious. 3 dice come, along with instruction sheet and blue chips, in a plastic cylinder, about an inch diameter by 5 inches high.....easy to put away, for sure, LOL.
Customer Review: Not a game
Summary: 2 Stars
Firstly, I should point out that this was introduced by someone into an gaming group made of adults, so I didn't originally play this with very young kids in mind. My initial reactions are that it isn't really a game. It has no real decision making, and the winner is completely random. It has a few steps to figuring out who gets points, which can at first mask this fact. But it is indeed completely random.
I could see this potentially be useful for really young children to learn the difference between right and left, and how to count. However, by the time they are old enough to safely handle dice, I would expect them to know these things beyond this products ability to teach them. Although, I am not a parent, and might be wrong about this.
Otherwise, you're family game time would be better spent playing something that fires some neurons. Otherwise you'd find this boring (I would think), unless you enjoy randomly finding out who wins.
Customer Review: Great Party Game - Highly Recommended!
Summary: 5 Stars
"Left-Right-Center", or LCR, is our favorite party game for large groups at our family reunions. This is a very fun game that can be played with almost any number of players and using markers or bills as the tokens.
We had always played it with three regular dice but was thrilled to discover that this set had the L (pass one to the left), C (put one in the "center", which takes it out of play), and R (pass one to the right) markings, as well three black "pips" that means take no action. The plastic chips are functional as counters, but haven't used them since we only play for money. The goal is to be the last person with one or more tokens remaining, which can be surprising since even when you are out someone might still be forced to pass one (or more) to you at any time. It can get rather loud when a lot of people are attempting to "will" the dice to push the tokens their way.
Highly Recommended!

Customer Review: Fun for All Ages, Anywhere!
Summary: 5 Stars
This game comes in a tiny, portable tube with three dice with L, R & C or dots on them, and a bunch of little yellow chips. It is easy to learn for all ages, and helps the younger ones learn their left and right and how to count and keep track.
My one concern is that it's terribly easy to lose the chips. However, the first time we played we took only the dice out to dinner with us and we used sugar packets as chips. For all it matters, you could even use pieces of paper as chips. We all quickly learned how to play and had tons of fun - there were 3 adults, 2 teenagers and 2 youngsters (4 & 6).
I highly recommend this game as good family entertainment. Because it is so portable it would be a great game to take on a trip, espcially if you wanted to kill time in an airport. If you want to make it really exciting, use coins with the kids and let them keep the pot! Have them add up the change for a good teachable moment.
