About the game

The Deck of Dice is a deck of 36 playing cards that represent every possible roll of a pair of dice. While this deck is most useful as a replacement for rolling a pair of dice in games such as The Settlers of Catan (and thereby controlling the "luck" factor), the Deck of Dice also comes with instructions for the game called CABA! CABA is a game that combines elements of poker (standard list of winning hands ranked by value) and gin (play ends suddenly when one player achieves a winning hand). The Deck of Dice is similar to Dice Deck.
