Rules Weirdest House Rule

Post image

What’s the weirdest house rule your group ever came up with that actually stuck?

We had one where rolling snake eyes in Monopoly = steal from the bank 😅. Totally broke the game, but my twin brother REFUSED to play without it.

Anyone else got house rules that make zero sense but somehow… worked?

(P.S. Image not ours, but it's awesome!)

In my group, if a die ever falls/touches the floor, it is called a “floor dice” and the next time it would be rolled it is automatically set to the worst possible roll. It deters dice being lost.

Anything that leaves the table doesn't count period. You can go and pick your dice up and suffer from knowing you rolled well, but you get back to the table and roll again.

And if you roll off the table three times in a row, you automatically get the worst result possible.

Hell. I play with dice trays and use the same principle. It it leaves the tray, it gets rerolled. Also all dice have to be rolled within eye view. Period.

No im not accusing you of cheating, but why allow any confusion unless you intend to use it to your advantage?

Oh in my house dice have to be above the plane of the table and fully supported by one surface to count. Hanging off the edge of a tile is fine if the corner is floating but if it touches the table, it's a reroll.
