The Great Race
By Philip Johnston

Dice can be pretty mean sometimes. If you don’t believe me, play a couple of games of Monopoly. Or snakes and ladders. There will be moments where you will be saying to yourself “anything but a three, anything but a three…” but the dreaded diagonal slash appears anyway. Off you go to jail. 

To make things worse, your little sister then rolls a six. Free parking – and most of the money she takes used to be yours.

Sigh. Stupid game.

Well, it’s time for revenge. Welcome to a practice game with a twist  - called “The Great Race”.

Just like Monopoly, you’ll need some dice. But these are no ordinary dice.

They’re magic dice. This game is useful for making your piece reliable, but mostly it will tell you a thing or two about your confidence levels.

Not a bad thing if you have an exam or concert coming up.

Tell me more!
