LCR Wild

LCR, a.k.a. Left Center Right, is a game without any strategy at all. This variance, LCR Wild, introduced by George & Company in 2016 does give you a little bit of twist.

LCR Wild

So, what is the difference between “LCR Wild” and the original “LCR” dice game?

The only difference is, they changed one of the dot side of the dice to “Wild”. So instead of having dice with “L”, “C” & “R” on one of each side and dots on the remaining 3 sides, you now have dice with “L”, “C”, “R” & “Wild” on one of each side and dots on the remaining 2 sides.

The game play is also altered a little bit. When rolling “L”, “C”, “R” or dots, rules remain the same as before. But when rolled a “Wild”, player has to choose to get one chip from any other player. 2 “Wild” allows the player to remove 2 chips from any of the player(s). Rolling 3 “Wild” is a bingo. Player can get all the chips from the center pot.

So, instead of just keep rolling and rolling, player now have a chance to make some decisions --  To remove chip(s) from any player(s) he/she prefers. The game is still 99% depends on luck, with an additional 1% of strategy.

Also, they have made the dice a bit bigger. 19mm dice are used instead of 16mm. The chips and the tin box are also bigger.

Can you play the original LCR dice game with a box of “LCR Wild”?

Yes, you can. Just ignore the “Wild” and consider it as a normal dot will do. So, if you have a box of “LCR Wild” on hand, it is not necessary to buy the original “LCR” dice game.
