Left, Right, Center on a ship!

[lulamc]

Hello friends!  I'll be cruising on Vista next month and have some others interested in playing Left, Right, Center.  Has anyone played on a ship before?  If so where did you play?  Where on Vista might you suggest?

 

Thanks in advance for any tips / ideas!

Last cruise we played in the piano bar, on the Splendor. Can’t help with the Vista.

Just off the Panorama and we had some epic LCR games in the Heroe's bar.

Took the place of the sports bar.

This is all new to me, it’s been a while since we have sailed.  So how is this game played?

I've never even heard of this game before. I'm totally in the dark too.

3 dice...one with an L, R, C....you start with $3 and roll the dice. Pass accordingly...whoever ends up with the last dollar (or more), wins the pot in the center.

While on the Glory, we played at the Alchemy Bar. We played in the morning when the bar was closed.

My friends (and I!) are getting a BIT older. I bought some dice at a dollar store and glued on the appropriate L,C,Rs!!

Bring it with you & play anywhere on the ship

[bstel]

that would be port, starboard, and mid-ship

Found this online and thought it would help if you're new to LRC:

 

Left Right Center is a dice game for three or more players, It is entirely a game of chance. The players make no decisions of any kind, even as to wagering.

Each player begins with three $1 bills. Players take it in turn to roll the six-sided dice, each of which is marked with "L", "C", "R" on one side, and a single dot on the three remaining sides. For each "L" or "R" thrown, the player must pass one dollar to the player to his left or right, respectively. A "C" indicates a dollar to the center (pot). A dot has no effect.
If a player has fewer than three dollars left (including zero) he is still in the game but his number of dollars is the number of dice he rolls on his turn, rather than rolling all three. The winner is the last player with dollars left. He does not roll the dice, and wins the center pot.

Note that since no player is ever "out" (even when they have no dollars), the number of players does not change.

This game is really a lot of fun!

I'd say grab a table on the lido deck.

LOL - I have a Tuesday game group - we play with three quarters, not dollars.

We were just on the NCL Bliss.  We did sign-ups on the roll call and had about 25 people interested in playing.  The person that organized the meet and greet contacted the cruise line and they reserved a conference room for us for three of the sea days from 1 PM - 3 PM.

 

It was a lot of fun; a very good way to spend a couple of hours.

If you do, please avoid meal times.

[Baxter1234]

We also used the Lido for any games...lots of others playing various board games too.  But always after 9pm to avoid the dining hours as best we could.

Ocean Plaza can have a lot of events scheduled (Check your Fun Times), but would be a good spot when there aren't events going on. It's close to a small bar, the coffee shop, Guy's BBQ, and the Red Frog Pub.
