Herlock Sholmes: i think those games are more popular because they are fast to play ... the outcome of the dice limits your choices, are often less complicated than their non-dice counter-parts

the faster a game can be played, the easier time-limited people will start some, and the faster a game can be played, the sooner a new game can start, so more games per time can be played

Hrqls: that's true, and you know what I noticed in myself ? That my ego (desire to be the best) is much bigger than my skills in most non-dice games and this gap creates my frustration. Dice games, by their very nature, close this gap and I play with pleasure ...

Herlock Sholmes: this site offers a balance between pleasure and frustration and the motivation to become better :)

Herlock Sholmes: Try these Dice.lol
