LIVE BAIT
Quick Summary
| 6 players are called down and stand at a Dice, The Host has the Last Dice. If you are the LIVE player you roll till you match another Die, If you match the Hosts Die then you are Out and you ghost. If you match another players Die then they become the LIVE player. |
Starting the Game
| When the Game starts the Host will ask you to register with
them - Normally a $.
The Host will then Draw 6 people at Random who will each pick a Die to stand at. When everyone is Ready the Host will tell them All to ROLL, then the will roll. The host's 1st Roll will decide who Goes 1st. i.e. if the Host Rolls a 5 then the 5th player from the Left will be LIVE 1st |
Being LIVE
| When you are the LIVE player you are the Only person to
ROLL,
Simply put you keep rolling until you Die matches any other die. If you match the Hosts Die then you are Caught and are out. If you match another players die then they become LIVE and play passes to them. If more then 1 player has the same Number then the current LIVE player gets to Choose which is next to be LIVE. The other players must wait until their name is said to make sure both don't roll |
When Someone gets Caught
| When someone gets Caught (i.e. goes out) by rolling the same number as the Host. Then the Player Must Roll as - "Use, Hidden from others" So this sets their Die to a "?" then Ghost. The Player to Their RIGHT then becomes LIVE. if they were the last player on the Right then the 1st player on the left becomes LIVE. The Host then Re-Rolls his Die to pick another Number then play begins once more. |
Down to ONE player (SC only)
| The way in which prizes are handed out in SC differs to other worlds in that play goes down to 1 player. All the winners then go into a WINNERS ROUND. The first person who is Caught in the Winners round wins the 3rd place prize, the second wins the 2nd place prize and the Player remaining wins the 1st place prize |
Down to TWO players (NH or DS Event)
| When there is only 2 players left, both of these players
will be asked to roll their die. If their Dice match then they will be
asked to roll again.
The Host then Rolls His/Her Die until it matches one of the remaining players. The player the Host matches then wins the DP and the Other player wins the Main Prize. If 1 of the last 2 players has Already won a Main prize then He/She/It wins the DP and the other player wins the Main (This last rule may be ignored at the hosts discretion) |
Down to TWO players (DS non event)
| When there are only 2 players left, The host will call out a list of Coloured boxes. Each player will each say a colour. If both players say the same colour, whoever said it 1st (after the list was macro'ed) will get it, the other will have to choose again. PLEASE hand the boxes back to the Host as they will be needed for the next game. - After the 5th round, the winners list will be re-set and the Weekly prizes will be raffled off |
Exceptions
| Every game must have some. but these are basically common
Sense.
1) If 2 out of the Remaining 3 have already won a main prize (or 3 out of 4) then the player who hasn't won a main prize wins and the rest Battle it out for the DP (Not Valid for Regular DS games) 2) If any player rolls out of turn (i.e. they were not LIVE) then they host may at their discretion make them the LIVE player, Make their New Number their Current one OR Keep their OLD number. This will mainly depend on how easy it is to follow how it went out of sync. 3) (Not Valid for SC) If at any time the Hosts Roll means that a player MUST go out then the Host will Re-Roll (e.g. 3 players left, two have a 3 and the LIVE person has a 2, if the host rolls 3 they will Re-Roll) |
Variation - KnockOut LB
| KnockOut LB is a variation of Live Bait and is normally
only played at events.
It is played the same way except there is only ONE BIG ROUND, and everyone plays. As 1 person goes out, another is called to take their place, this continues until everyone has been called. then it carries on as normal Live bait until only 1 player is left standing Prizes are handled thus... 1st Three people to go out at start of game win DP's Last 3 people standing at end of game win the Event Prizes. (Last one Standing Wins 1st, 2nd to last 2nd etc..) |
Registrations
| Please note, Registrations for Regular & Event LiveBait
willl close if we reach the Maximum about of people who could play This is 30 people for both Event & Regular - Registration will not close until the 1st round has been started. For KnockOut LB. there is No Maximum amount of people, However Registrations will close as soon as the 1st round begins at 10past the hour. |
