Dice Castles is my new (free) dice game. Rules and examples of play are given but I left some stuff out (eek!):
At any time, you may re-roll any of your dice.
You can stack a die atop 3 or more dice if the numbers add up properly (ie: a "4" stacked onto a 2x2 block of "1's" is legal as long as the "4" is touching the other 4 dice below it).
You can also put different numbered dice next to one another if they are "joined" by a stacked die. For example, the following two stacks are legal (_'s are placeholders):
___ [3]
[2][2][1][1]
___ [3]
__ [2][1]
[2][2][1][1]

Sounds fun.. but shouldn't the leftmost [2] on the second floor of the last example require that his first floor base add 2? 2 +1 = 3

Nope...it's just crappy formatting. For example, when a Two is on top of another Two, it's 2+0 because the top 2 isn't touching any other dice beneath.
So in the example:
___ [3]
__ [2][1]
[2][2][1][1]
Top row: 3 (three is on top of two and one (2+1))
Middle row: 21 (two is on directly on top of two (2+0), one is directly on top of one (1+0))
Bottom row: 2211

Jared ... try sticking a <pre> tag around yer text you want to fix-width.
I couldn't figure out your rules clarification until I read the text that said where each die was ...
Anyhow, looks like a fun game. I will have to teach my niece & nephew this one ...

Actually, I was on the boat (commuting home from work) and it just popped into my head. :smile:
