SEARCH THIS SITE




Despite the name, this is a dice game ... no "Mississippi Marbles" (or any other marbles) involved. The term "marbles", as explained in a humorous fashion on the back of the box, was a better name given to it then dice, because the word dice just did not catch on. Anyway, points are awarded for certain rolls of the dice, with some borrowing from the game of Poker (straights, 3 of a kind, etc.). Terms like Makin' Mud, Ridin' the Rapids, Big Muddy Straight, and others will give a sense of old-time Riverboat Gamblin'.

Game components include : 6 black Dice w/ draw-stringed pouch, plastic Dice Shaker, Dice Rolling Tray, Scorepad & instructions.

Two or more players. Ages 12 & up. Dawson Alliants Corporation / Terry Estvold from 1988.
