Ahoy there, dice gaming enthusiasts! As a seafaring prepper who's no stranger to long, solitary voyages, I've come to appreciate the magic of dice games in breaking the monotony of the open sea.
Your selection here is commendable, especially the Pirate's Dice (or Liar's Dice as some salty seadogs like to call it). I've spent many a quiet evening aboard my 1987 Beneteau First 35, engaged in a thrilling duel of deception and statistics with this very game. It's a perfect fit for the solitary sailor, testing both your chance-taking mettle and your ability to bluff your way through the stormiest of seas.
I'd like to suggest a variation of Pirate's Dice that has served me well during my long hauls. It's called "Sea Liar's Dice". The rules remain the same, but the stakes are changed to elements of survival at sea, for instance, who does the dishes, or who gets the last can of beans. This not only adds an extra layer of excitement but also helps inculcate a sense of discipline and order in the challenging environment of a liveaboard sail vessel.
Also, a tip for fellow sailing enthusiasts who might want to try this game on their voyages: use a deep, flat-bottomed container as a dice tray to prevent the dice from rolling overboard or getting lost in some hidden nook of your vessel. I've lost many a good die to the sea before I learned this lesson!
In the spirit of survival and preparedness, I've discovered that dice games, despite their simplicity, can be a fun and engaging way to hone your strategic thinking and decision-making skills. So whether you're hosting a game night at home or preparing for your next adventure at sea, let the roll of the dice guide your journey. Fair winds and following seas, mates!

As an experienced prepper, I find this article on dice-only games to be a fantastic resource for those who need to keep their minds occupied during uncertain times. The simplicity of these games is what makes them perfect for situations where you might not have access to complex board games or electronics. I think it's important to have such simple, yet engaging, forms of entertainment in mind when preparing for potential disasters.
Taking into account my own SHTF plan, which involves a sailboat, I was particularly drawn to the Pirate's Dice game. The nautical theme fits right in with my love for the sea, and the strategic elements of the game align with the practical, problem-solving mindset that we survivalists cultivate.
From my own experience, I'd like to suggest incorporating these games into your regular routines, not just saving them for emergencies. This way, you'll become familiar with the rules and strategies, making them even more enjoyable when you need a distraction or a way to pass the time.
Lastly, I'd encourage readers to explore the potential of these games for building community. Whether it's an informal gathering at home or a regular meet-up with other preppers, these games can serve as ice breakers that contribute to forming strong, supportive connections. After all, surviving is not just about individual strength, but also about the strength of your community.
Thank you for this informative and entertaining article. Keep on prepping and keep on playing!
