About this game

Use it when the board game is set up but the dice are missing, or when deciding who starts takes too long. Everyone takes turns rolling two dice, and the highest total goes first. The ranking on the result screen is the turn order, so everyone else's turn is settled at the same time.

How to play

  1. Enter the players' names.
  2. Choose one throw each, then take turns rolling.
  3. The highest total goes first, and play follows the ranking.

FAQ

What if there's a tie for first?
Equal totals share the rank. Have only the tied players roll once more.
Is there another way besides dice?
Yes. With the turtle race, the finishing order becomes the turn order. If you only need the first player fast, the roulette wheel works too.
Is it really fair?
The result is decided at random, and fairly, the moment you press start. The animation only reveals it. Nobody can pick or predict the outcome in advance.
Do I need to sign up or install anything?
No. It's free, and the names and penalties you type stay on this device. Nothing is sent to a server.
Can I show it on a big screen without ads?
Yes. Press the "Full screen" button on the game page. Ads and the text around the board are hidden, and only the game fills the screen.
What kind of site is Tortle?
Tortle is a free website of luck-based mini games that works instantly, with no sign-up or install. Use the ladder game, roulette wheel, drawing lots (gacha capsules), card draw, dice, turtle race and team split to fairly decide who goes first, who does a chore, who gets a penalty or who wins a prize.
