TENZI

TENZI is a real-time dice game built around speed rather than turn order. Each player starts with ten dice and repeatedly rolls as quickly as possible, keeping dice that match a chosen value and rerolling the rest. The first player to get all ten dice showing the same number calls “TENZI” and wins.

The basic rules are intentionally minimal, and many published variants change the target pattern or add physical challenges such as stacking dice. Because all players roll at the same time, the game emphasizes speed, coordination, and visual checking more than long-term strategy.

Core equipment: ten dice per player
Release: commercially published in the early 2010s
