Games
Because this is the lowest possible roll, and will often be a loser in many dice games, such as Craps, the term has been employed in a more general usage as a reference to bad luck. In many board games such as Monopoly, house rules may decide that rolling Snake Eyes (or any Doubles) leads to a bonus since they are rarely rolled.

Famous quotes containing the word games:
“The rules of drinking games are taken more serious than the rules of war.”
—Chinese proverb.
“Whatever games are played with us, we must play no games with ourselves, but deal in our privacy with the last honesty and truth.”

“As long as lightly all their livelong sessions,
Like a yardful of schoolboys out at recess
Before their plays and games were organized,
They yelling mix tag, hide-and-seek, hopscotch,
And leapfrog in each other’s way all’s well.”
—Robert Frost (1874–1963)
