About this board game

Popcorn Dice is a fast, fun dice game for 2–6 players that takes about 20 minutes to play. Roll your dice to pop popcorn, collect points, and decide whether to stop safely or press your luck with another roll.

Each popcorn result scores one point, while a double pop is worth two points. Kernel results go back to be rolled again, keeping the action moving as you try to build the best score possible.

Burnt popcorn is the danger. If you roll four burnt popcorns, you bust and score no points for the round. However, a double pop can be used to cancel a burnt popcorn, giving you a valuable way to mitigate the risk and keep your round alive.

  • Roll dice to pop popcorn and earn points.
  • Use double pops for extra points or to cancel burnt popcorns.
  • Return kernels to the dice pool for another roll.
  • Stop and score, or roll again and risk busting.

The goal is to score 30 points or pop the perfect bowl of popcorn, made up entirely of pop and double pop results. This creates a simple but exciting choice every round: lock in your points, or chase a bigger bowl while the threat of burnt popcorn grows.

With its quick turns, push-your-luck decisions, and easy-to-follow popcorn theme, Popcorn Dice is designed for family play. Released in 2021, it offers a compact dice challenge for groups of 2–6 players.
