Fat Quarter Game

I don't remember how I came across this game, but it looks interesting!




Everyone starts with 5 fat quarters. You have 3 dice. The dice have L, R, C and plain dots. When you roll, an L, you pass 1 fat quarter to the left. Roll an R, you pass 1 fat quarter to the right. If you roll a C, you put one fat quarter in the center. If you roll a single dot, you do nothing. As you work your way around the table, round after round, eventually, you end up with a stack of fat quarters in the center, and you end up with 2 people with 1 fat quarter. Who ever rolls a C, puts their fat quarter in the center, and the remaining player wins it all.  

Here's a link to Amazon to the dice:  http://www.amazon.com/LCR-Center-Right-Random-Color/dp/B000F9YDKY

  1. Haha! My niece introduced us to that game, but we play with dollar bills. But it would also be fun to play with fat quarters.

    1. Hmm - I just saw this comment. Since you are coded Unknown I can't write to you... The link to the video has gone bad, and when I searched for Jeff Rutherford and Far Quarter Game nothing came up. But from reading around I think it is also called the Left, Center, Right game. Here is a link to the rules on a site that I think will not go away: https://bicyclecards.com/how-to-play/left-center-right/
