Description

The Egg Exchange Dice Game is a fun game for ages 6 and up, ideally played right after the traditional Easter egg hunt. The game works best when there are as many different types of eggs as possible – in various sizes, colors, and patterns. At the beginning, each player has 5 Easter eggs, and there is a central supply of additional eggs in the middle of the table. Each player also receives a printed page with a blank 6 x 6 grid, along with some colorful markers that should be cut out beforehand.

Players take turns rolling the dice. The active player rolls for the row and column of the 6 x 6 grid, determining a unique field on the grid. You can either roll a single die twice (first for the row, then for the column) or use two dice of different colors, agreeing in advance which color represents what.

The page with the completed 6 x 6 grid tells you which action to perform. These actions vary widely, such as “Take an egg from the supply with your eyes closed” or “Swap an egg with someone whose name contains an ‘a’.” However, they all have one thing in common: at least one egg is always moved, either between players or between the active player and the supply. This keeps the Easter eggs constantly changing hands in a playful way. A double six is especially valuable because it allows you to set aside an egg, which is now safe and cannot be traded or taken away.

When an action (or a field) is rolled for the first time, players mark it on their 6 x 6 grid by placing a marker on it. Alternatively, you can use colored pencils and mark a field by drawing an Easter egg inside.

How the Game Ends

There are at least four ways to end the Egg Exchange Dice Game. You can play it as a Bingo variant, ending the game when someone completes a row or column. Alternatively, it can end when someone has checked off all the fields. Another option is to set a timer. Lastly, the game can end when a player has safely set aside five eggs. The winner gets to pick three extra Easter eggs from the supply.

Since the Egg Exchange Dice Game is purely based on luck, you can distribute the remaining eggs from the supply at the end so that those with fewer eggs receive a few more, making it fairer for everyone.
