Shake Out!
Requirements
Description
Players take turns rolling their set of dice up to three times to form combinations that match cards on the table. By matching the combination on a card, you can stake a claim on it, but lookout because a better roll could bump you off. Each card is worth points but you can also score big by collecting matching sets.
The next time you want to have a great time rolling dice or a fun
fast filler during a marathon gaming session, break out the Shake Out!

The Kids and i love this game. We have only played it 4 times but the games always seem to be close. One player might try and collect all the high value cards (my daughter) and someone else might try ...
Looks like a great game...
Looks great!
Looks fun
This is a very enjoyable simple roll the die game, and I would say it has an edge that puts it a step above Yahtzee by involving players in a more direct competitive play claiming and stealing claims ...
I would give this a 4.5 stars. The game is a great, quick, casual game. We've enjoyed the games we've been able to play. It makes a great filler between games or while waiting for someone. Very well d...

Great family game Simple to learn and teach. Luck and strategy using cards and dice...set collecting and dice manipulation make for a lot of tough choices. More than the sum of it's parts!
The rules in my copy were all messed up - incorrectly "duplexed" - but we figured it out. Fun little game, and will surely be played again and again.
Good little game. Highly replayable, and has more strategy than you'd think. It wouldn't be my cup of tea game after game, but it's a great game between the deeper games that I play.
