Dice Hog Day
It’s been ten days since Dice Hog Day – let the Hogging of the Dice begin! Without snow on the ground, the Dice Hog quickly ferreted out his dice (it also helped that we used super-sized dice)! One die showed a 3 and the other a 5. As per the official rules of play (found here), tally times two yields 16 more days of winter left!
End of Winter is officially February 26th!!!

Dice Hog Day
The Dice Hog got up early, dressed up like a lumberjack, grabbed a pair of dice, and trekked off into the wild to do his thing: predict the end of winter. He was very disappointed that there was no snow to romp in; all he could find was this minuscule iced puddle. This put him in a funk and it took a little coaxing to give the old dice a roll… Before rolling, he crossed his tentacles then shouted in his shrill little voice “Come on winter! Baby needs a new pair of snowboots!” And now, as per the official Dice Hog Day rules noted below, we must wait seven days until we find out what he rolled.
RULES OF PLAY FOR DICE HOG DAY!
On Feb 3, the day after those other hogs get it wrong, our Dice Hog appears and rolls a pair of dice into the wild. He then immediately goes back into his hide-out. A week later, he re-emerges to find them and follows these rules:
1. Dice must stay where they land for seven days, untouched.
2. When there is no snow on them whatsoever, none, the dice result is multiplied by two. Two special rules apply to this result (it wouldn’t be very GameWicky if we didn’t have some “hot numbers”):
Snake Eyes (1,1) – Winter is officially over and you can put the snow shovels away immediately.
Boxcars (6, 6) – Uh Oh! There’s probably more snow coming. Bring dice back inside and wait for next storm. Then repeat process as if it is Feb 3 all over again.
Stay tuned for this year’s results!

Dice Hog Day
The Dice Hog just wants to remind all his friends that Dice Hog Day is right around the corner – February 3 (the day after those other hogs makes their prediction). He’s got his own method for predicting the end of winter (and one that’s way more fun than the method used by those other hogs). Yup… it involves dice! His rules are below this pic. Note that this pic does not show current snow accumulations at GameWick HQ; it’s just a shot from 2016 that the Dice Hog loves… Such a ham!
RULES OF PLAY FOR DICE HOG DAY!
On Feb 3, you roll a pair of dice into your yard; give them a good toss (but not so good that you won’t be able to find them). Then, just follow these rules:
1. Dice must stay where they land for seven days, untouched.
2. When there is no snow on them whatsoever, none, the dice result is multiplied by two. However, two special rules apply to this result (it wouldn’t be very GameWicky if we didn’t have some “hot numbers”):
Snake Eyes (1,1) – Winter is officially over and you can put the snow shovels away immediately.
Boxcars (6, 6) – Uh Oh! There’s probably more snow coming. Bring dice back inside and wait for next storm. Then repeat process as if it is Feb 3 all over again.
We’ll keep you posted on our 2018 Dice Hog Day results!
