Dice strictly speaking is not a game. By simulating the throw of a pair of dice, the computer calculates the distribution of the number of throws entered according to the number of spots the dice show. Be prepared for a wait if you enter a number like 5000. Train likewise is not exactly a game, but rather a challenge to balance time, speed, and distance factors. You have a chance to do some mental calculation and then have the computer tell you how close you came to being right.
