Video Transcription

are you doing this is mr. near to survival I've been asked about a necklace that I wear that it's actually a game that I invented back in 2010 I'll show you how it works stay tuned so the necklace that I where it's a dice game I hold the necklace or the Sheep end now just my wife's ring so here it is slide that off so we have I have various pieces of wood and things like that and they have different numbers of holes so they're like dice this one's worth one we have two three four and one wild this one's metal so to play you make a circle with the rope that comprises a necklace easier to play first 220 so what you do is you pick a spot usually a few feet away and you put a marker stick so now people sit all around and they all just have stick in front of them your hand can't go past that it's like bowling be you're rolling dice so when you roll if the role behind the stick the goal is to get as many of these dice you can inside the circle and whatever dice are our that's your score first to 20 mins now it's also a trick the wild the metal one gives you one more roll that goes in there so it adds a point and gives you a role because it's worth one my daughter had a crazy streak when she ruled four times in a row absolutely obliterated me that game so it's a pretty cool game and I'll do a couple rounds right now okay I got one so then I would my aunt actually won't pass to stick a little bit i think my hand so then i would score one give the dice to the next person and they put the stick down roughly the same length and so on so i'll roll a few more times nothing man nothing going uphill nothing again Wow awful change my spot I'll roll this way i'm still going uphill but i'll see still nothing brutal Wow try again okay got one again man this would be a tough round Nick I'm at two or three or something try again one again crazy okay that time I got three so as you can see it's not a very easy game it's not like you're rolling three four of them in at a time racking up huge points sometimes other times that's exactly what happens it's really strange it's dice you know it's just like playing craps sometimes you roll none happen other times you roll and you get something that looks like that it just happens in this case I would have three four five six and an extra roll so I grabbed all the dice again and I roll again in this case I would score two with another rule so it's a really cool game it's something that we enjoy playing around camp around the or on the fire you don't the play on a blanket you can also play on bare earth this is how I prefer to play on real earth there's a little more variables and the dice just seemed to be a little more lively so I'm done that time none again and pretty terrible this game today all right I'll go home what time see if I can score a few points brew okay well I got three two and one alright so that's how you put the native survival dice game or native dice and then when you're done you just for everything back on here so I'm going through the bottom of the loop a little tricky tying it behind your back like this when she pens there I'm just tightening it up all right nice and tight so as my necklace just takes a minute to put on not a big deal but cheap ben is a good strong not I know it's not going anywhere so that's how you play native dice it's a dice game you know sometimes you have a huge role and you get three four or five points an extra turn you keep going you know my daughter did that to me and like i said earlier just absolutely obliterated me she got 12 points in a row before I could even roll it's just madness so I hope you like native dice just something I threw together one time I was actually camping with this guy Brandon and he had these things hanging around and said wow those look like dice I took a piece of power cord made a loop made the game appreciate view sconce a sport hope you have fun with it take care
