Anyone here heard of [Balut](https://wikivisually.com/wiki/Balut_(game))? It’s very similar to Yahtzee; one difference is the absence of rows to score 1’s, 2’s and 3’s (though I think those rows add strategy). My businessman acquaintance tells of chartering a helicopter to ferry him and his friends from Hongkong to Manila just for a Balut game! :smack:
