TWENTY-ONE
This game is based on the card game Blackjack. Any number of players may take part.
Equipment: one die, and a supply of chips or counters for each player.
Objective: Players try to score 21 points.
Play: Each player puts one chip into the pool or kitty. Then each player in turn rolls the dice as many times as he likes in an attempt to make a total of 21 or a number near but below it. If, for example, a player's first four throws are 4, 6, 2, 6 (totaling 18), it would probably be safer to "stick" on this number than risk a fifth throw that might take his total over 21.
If his total does exceed 21, he "goes bust" and is eliminated from that round.
Players often agree on a minimum number, e.g. 16, at which sticking is permissible.
When all the players have thrown, the player with 21, or the number nearest to it, takes the pool, and a new round commences. If two or more players have the same score, the pool may either be shared or decided by a play-off.
Start of play rotates one player to the left with each round.

Yatzee. The object is to fill out poker like hands, you are required to weigh risk versus reward on whether you take another roll so there is clearly some logic and thinking involved.
This is a tough question. All of the search engines return video games.
