A recent conversation I had with Jory... Some backstory: he's been collecting dice. Yes, dice. After we found some in the house he saw how excited I was because as he started rolling them I was calling the outcome like a casino croupier. Now he just likes counting the pips and asking whether that roll would have made me any money. Anyway... (I have scaled back on the Craps lessons....)
J:"Oh man, I just rolled a hard 3"
R: "You can't roll a hard 3, you can roll a hard 4,6,8 and 10"
J: "Well, rolling bears is hard..."
I had to pause for a second at this comment... It then occurred to me that some of the dice I bought for him were from the hobby shop "scrap dice bin". A specific pair of dice that caught my eye had little bears instead of 1's. I have no idea what game these are from, but whatever, I knew he'd get a kick out of them.
R: "You're right, rolling bears is hard!"
(I found the game! Link)
Have you given him "gamer" dice? Or pigs? (http://images.boardgamegeek.com/images/pic438746_md.jpg)
