Game 1:
Players will combine cards and try to get the most points before the cards run out. Players move clockwise, picking up cards, creating different combinations and getting different point values. Once the cards are gone, the round is over. An Ace can pair with any card to get 10 points. 2 and 3 pair to get 3 points. 4 and 5 pair to get 5 points. 6 and 7 pair to get 8 points. 8 and 9 pair to get 10 points. 10 and Jack pair to get 15 points. Queen and King pair to get 15 points. Two Ace cards get 30 points, and doubles of any cards give you 10 points.
A card game where players combine cards and receive points, trying to have the highest point amount before cards run out.
Game 2:
A drinking game where players roll a dice and move the shot according to the dice value. The game is between 2 players, but can have as many teams as you want. The person who rolled the higher value gets to move the shot towards the other player’s side. Start with the drink in the center and it eventually ends on one player’s side.
A drinking game where players roll a dice to move a shot closer to the other players side so that they’ll have to take it.
Game 3:
Players pick 1 card and roll 1 dice and then determine points based on the pair. You first pick a card then roll the dice. If you pick a card that is 2,3,4,5, you need to roll a 6 in order to get +1 point. If you pick a card that is 6,7,8,9,10, you need to roll a 4,5,6 to get a +1. If you pick a Jack, Queen, King, or Ace you get +1, regardless of your dice roll, but if you roll a 1, you don’t get a point. First to 10 points, wins.
A card and dice game where players combine card and dice values to gain points and be the first to reach 10 points.
Game 4:
2 players pick a card and reveal the card face up, seeing who got the higher card. The higher card gets to keep the lower value card. If both players have the same values, just reveal another card. Each player starts with half the deck each. You want to end with all the cards, and the other player with none.
A card game where two players pick and reveal their cards, gaining or losing cards, trying to gain all the cards and get all the other players out.
Game 5:
Players roll 2 dice and want to get to a combined value of 8 or higher. If you can’t get to 8 points, you get no points. Rolling a value of 8 or higher, gives you 1 point. If you roll a combined value of 12, you get 2 points. The first person to 20 points, wins.
A dice game where players roll a dice, hoping for high values in order to gain points and ultimately reach 20 points first.

I like your third game idea. Combining simple six-sided dice and a playing card deck is interesting. However, this feels like it’s mostly random chance.
I think the third idea has a lot of interest. Combining cards and dice are an interesting idea. I would consider adding some kind of level of strategy to the game so it’s not all chance.
Your second game sounds fun. I played a minute-to-win-it game similar to this. Adding the dice brings in a fun competitiveness to it.
