Hm. OK. We could use something like Irony Games server for the dice? But I'm not sure what game to invent...

Ooh. Hold on, my friend invented this game and I'd like to try it:

Three Princes

The Dice: Three Princes is played with four four-sided dice, one of which - called the Fool's Die - must be markedly different from the other three - refered to as the Prince's Dice

Setting Up The Game: Each player places an equal bet into the centre of the playing area; this is the initial stake. At the end of each round the stake goes to the winner and new players may join

The Sequence: After each player has bought in to the game with a stake, they take it in turns to roll the dice. If the Fool's Die comes up with a result of 1, 2 or 3 that is the Prince's House and they total the number of Prince's Dice with that number; for each of the Prince's Dice with a roll of 4, add one to this total and re-roll adding one and then scoring as usual. If the Fool's Die comes up with a 4 than the player's score is simply the number of 4s with no rerolls. If the Fool's Die is 4 and all of the Prince's Dice show 4s that player wins instantly and the round comes to a close

Determining The Winner: Player with the highest total at the end of the round wins the stake

For Example: Each of Alice, Bob and Chris place two matches into the centre. Alice rolls 2-2-3 on her Prince's Dice and 2 on her Fool's Die for a score of two; Bob rolls 1-1-3 and 3 for a score of one; and Chris rolls 1-3-4 and 3 for a score of two and one re-roll. One his re-roll he rolls a further 4 taking his total to three and one more reroll, which comes out a 1. His total is three and he is the winner

For Example: Our players from the example above play a second round. Alice rolls 1-2-1 and 1 for a total of two; Bob then rolls 4-4-4 and 4 ending the round instantly as the winner

Optional Rules: When placing the initial stake, players may agree to play a number of rounds before a winner is declared, permitting betting between rounds. In this case, bets placed must be matched by all players and as such the option to retire permitted

Of course, this being the Net, there's nothing to gamble. We could invent something - maybe monkeys?
