Balut 2024
Balut - A Game of Dice
Balut, a dice game, was invented by an American soldier towards the end of the second World War. The game is played with players throwing effective dice combinations to earn points, where bonus points are granted for each successful balut - a five-of-a-kind die throw. The aim of the game is to collect the largest number of points over six rounds of play, with the player collecting the highest overall points winning the game.
