I see a few multi-gen dice games and I really love them, so I thought I’d give it a go! Like the majority of these games, I’m going to attempt to make 10 rounds (covering 100 years). Similarly, since I prefer rules for names over namebanks, this game will feature name rules/guidelines. For this game, you will need a D6, a D10, and a coin. Find them HERE.
