Bring three dollars in nickels or dimes for a friendly round table session of the Left, Right, Center dice game presented by VooDoo Cove. Tables accommodate up to eight players seated in a circle with a center pot for dimes and nickels. Before play begins, each participant places three dimes or nickels in the middle, a starting player is chosen, and turns move clockwise. On a turn, the number of dice rolled matches how many dimes or nickels a player has: roll three with three or more, two with two, one with one, and none if you have none. After rolling, resolve each die. L means give one dime or nickel to the player on the left, C places one in the center pot, R gives one to the player on the right, and a dot leaves your coins unchanged. If using regular six sided dice, treat 1, 2, and 3 as dots, 4 as L, 5 as C, and 6 as R. Pass the dice to the next player after actions are taken. Running out of dimes or nickels does not remove anyone from the game. Players without coins skip rolling but can receive coins from neighbors and resume when they have some again. The round ends when only one player still has any dimes or nickels, and that winner keeps their coins along with everything in the center pot.
