pipblock — Five Dice, One Wooden Block

pipblock.com Observed source
Editorial interest 82/100 Selection signal · not a rating of the site

A browser-based dice game that adapts the Yacht tradition into a tactile wooden-block interface for one to four players.

Landing page captured for the 2026-08-24 issue.

Field notes

The interface models a physical dice block: a tap rolls all five dice, individual taps hold them, and a free row records the result immediately. Two rulesets are documented in detail: Yacht 1938 has twelve rows and no bonus, while the house version adds a thirteenth row and a 63-point upper bonus. Scores remain exclusively in the browser, so clearing site data also clears the game.
