" Hi my name is Carlos Ramos Jr. coming to you on behalf of Expert Village and today we are talking about a variety of games that you could played with dice. The next game we are going to play is a game called pig. Very simple game. You play with 1 die and it requires a score sheet so you could keep score. The way the game is played is each player takes turns throwing the die and they continue to throw the die until a 1 is shown or they decide to stop. Now if you score a 1 at all during that turn you will get 0 points. Now you could stop before you roll a 1 and you could score that total of numbers that you threw. So it is kind of a you make the decision and you choose your fate you could either keep rolling and gamble and see if you could get a higher, higher score and hopefully that one doesn't come up because if that one comes up you get 0 and it goes to the next person. So if you could get a really high score you might want to stop while you are ahead so you don't roll that one. The player who goes over a 100 wins the game. Very simple game, very fun game, you should be aware of that one or that pig. "
