What is Tenzi?

Tenzi is a modern speed-dice game published in 2007. Each player gets 10 dice of their own colour; simultaneously everyone rolls, then keeps re-rolling every die that isn't showing their chosen number, racing to get all 10 dice matching. First to shout 'Tenzi!' wins. Fast, chaotic, and endlessly re-playable with the '77 Ways to Play Tenzi' expansion.
