Pig or Left Right Center?

Both are over in minutes. One asks you to push your luck; the other only asks you to roll.

Clay dice on green felt: one big cream die on the left, three small dice and a pile of red and cream tokens on the right.

Two of the quickest dice games we have. Pig gives you one choice, to roll again or hold. Left Right Center gives you none: you roll and pass chips as the dice say.
