Texas Shake 'Em is a combination of chance and strategy. This game the bluffing, betting, and gamesmanship of poker, with the luck of tumbling dice. With an eye on the hourglass, players strive to roll the strongest "poker hand" with the three dice in their individual shakers and the two community dice. Players then bid based on their hands before revealing their "hands" which consist of the public dice plus the dice in their shakers.
