What Is the St Patrick’s Day Candy Dice Game?

The Candy Dice Game is a simple to follow game where players roll a dice and follow instructions to fill up their game board first. You can use candy or counters, but lets be fair, candy wins every time!

Depending on what they roll, players might:

• Pass to the left
• Pass to the right
• Steal from another player
• Or sometimes… get lucky and pick up two

Everyone starts the game with three counters or pieces of candy on their game board. The winner of the game, is the player who fills their game board first.

Think of it as a little bit of luck, a little bit of strategy, and a lot of fun chaos around the table.

The winner needs to shout out when they have filled their board. House would work or something a little more festive “Leprechaun” would be more fun.

Why Families Love This Game

Parents especially love this kind of activity because it ticks all the right boxes.

It’s quick to set up
You only need candy and a dice.

It works for mixed ages
Younger kids can easily understand the rules, and adults will have fun stealing candy haha!

It keeps everyone engaged
Nobody sits out or waits long turns. It can get surprisingly competitive as people steal and swap with each other. Very funny when there is one poor person who loses all their counters or candy and then plots their revenge on the other players.

Make It Even More Fun

If you want to make the game feel extra special, try a few of these simple twists. They will elevate the game to another level and great for older players.

Hide a “lucky coin”or counter.
Add one special gold coin to the pile in the middle. Whoever ends up with it wins a bonus prize at the end of the game.

Set a timer
Play for two minutes and when the timer goes off everyone has to stand up and move places to another game board. Play starts again on the new board. This is a super fun twist as you can go from a nearly filled board to an empty board. Give it a go.

Perfect for St Patrick’s Day Parties

This game works brilliantly for:

• Family get togethers
• Kids parties
• Classroom parties
• After-dinner fun on St Patrick’s Day

Because it’s quick and easy, it’s also a great filler activity between other games.
