The traveling dice game 100 includes a base casing 110, a pair of dice 120, a pencil 130, a writing tablet 140 and a plurality of pins 150.

An aperture 115 is disposed on the first end 114 to facilitate separation of a top cover (
The object of the traveling dice game 100 is to get all of the plurality of pins 150 in a downward position. To achieve this, a player simply rolls the pair of dice 120. If the player rolls a total of 9 between the pair of dice 120, for example, the player then turns down the plurality of pin 150 combinations which equal 9 (i.e., 8+1, 7+2, 5+3+1 or 4+3+2). The same player will then roll the pair of dice 120 once more, and if the number does not have the same number of pair of pins 120 in the upward position, that player's turn is over. The numbers are then added up, and that becomes the score for that particular player. The next player follows accordingly, with the lowest final number of pair of pins 120 in the upward position winning the traveling dice game 100 with a tie leading to a rematch.
The traveling dice game 100 additionally includes a top cover 160, a handle 170 and a fastener 180. The top cover 160 is removably placed on the base casing 110 to cover the base casing 110.

The handle 170 is disposed on the first end 114 of the base casing 110 that is grasped to facilitate carrying the traveling dice game 100. The fastener 180 can be disposed anywhere on the traveling dice game 100 to removably secure the top cover 160 to the base casing 110. The fastener 180 can be one or more buckles or one or more other suitable fasteners.
The traveling dice box is a game made of a compact wooden or plastic box containing a set of numbered pins, a pair of dice into a built-in dice holder, and a writing tablet and a pencil, where any related traveling dice game information is recorded.
