Complete Book Of Dice Games

Complete Book of Dice Games (1975) by Skip Frey (Hart Publishing)

Before apps, before Xbox, before anyone thought “game night” needed themed snacks, there were dice – rattling, clattering, occasionally disappearing under the sofa. Skip Frey’s Complete Book of Dice Games (1975) is exactly what it says on the tin: a fat little manual of everything you can do with a few cubes of numbered plastic and some willing victims, sorry, friends.

Packed with rules, variations, and probably a few arguments waiting to happen, this book covers classics and oddities alike, the kind of thing that kept people amused in pubs, dorms, basements, and scout huts throughout the 70s. Think of it as a time capsule from an era when entertainment came from rolling bones, not scrolling phones.

Condition: very much “well-loved” – the sort of copy you’d expect to find in the back of a caravan or tucked into a games cupboard alongside a deck of cards missing the joker. A bit battered, maybe a doodle or two inside, but still perfectly ready to help you kill an evening without screens.

Perfect for collectors of retro gaming lore, dice enthusiasts, or anyone who secretly enjoys yelling “Snake Eyes!” louder than is socially acceptable.
