Roll & Colour: Hearts

Roll & Colour: Hearts is a two-player game, played on an A5 greeting card. Imagine giving a card that is also a ten-minute game! On the front of the card is a picture, while on the back the rules are laid out neatly. The aim of the game is to color in the hearts in different colors. One player takes the inside of the hearts, while the other takes the outside. You score points for hearts that are not next to, i.e. that don't fall into the same row and column as, a heart of the same color. To play, lay the card flat on the table. Label the columns 1-3 and the rows 4-6. Next, choose a different color for each roll of the die, so 1 might be red, 2 might be orange, and so on. On a turn, you roll three dice, then allocate one of the results to a column, one to a row, and one to a color, then fill in a blank heart in that column and row using that color. So if you roll 3, 4, 6, then you could fill a heart in column 3 and row 4 with color 6, or you could fill a heart in column 3 and row 6 with color 4. The game ends when all hearts are colored, and whoever has the most points wins.
