Hi,

I've just coded a brand new game which is now available for testing. The 
game is called Left, Center, Right. Here is very rough draft documentation.

Each player starts with a certain number of chips, the default is three. 
Players then take turns rolling special dice. Each six-sided die has 
three dots, a Left, a Center, and a Right. If you roll a Left, you pass 
a chip to the player on your left. Roll a Right, and you pass a chip to 
the player on your right. Roll a Center, and you put a chip in the 
center pot. Roll a dot and nothing happens. Each player rolls three 
dice, or if they have fewer than three chips, they roll that number of 
dice. Any player with no chips is skipped, but isn't out of the game, as 
someone else might pass them some chips. The winner is the last player 
to have any chips.

That's how the rules normally run. However, there are several 
variations, all available at game creation. First you can specify a 
different number of starting chips. Next, you can replace one of the 
dots on each die with a Wild. If you roll one Wild, you take a chip from 
a player of your choice. Roll two Wilds and you can take chips from two 
players, or two chips from the same player, you'll be asked to choose 
twice. Roll three Wilds and you take everything in the pot and instantly 
win!

Next you can enable reversible dice. If this is enabled and you have 
more than three chips, you can put three chips in the pot before 
rolling, and this reverses the meaning of dice. Left, Center, and Right 
dice have you taking chips from players or removing from the pot. One or 
two Wilds have you giving chips to people you choose. Three Wilds have 
you put all your chips in the pot.

Finally, there are three conditions under which the game is won. The 
default is that the last player with chips wins. However, you can select 
a variation where the last player with chips must roll all dots to win, 
or that player must put their last chip or chips in the pot to win.

If a situation ever arises where nobody has any chips, everyone gets the 
starting amount of chips again, and play continues. In this situation, 
the pot is not emptied.

Enjoy!

Jayson
