Here's why Sharpshooters is one of my top five favorite dice games.
Sharpshooters was published in 1994 and became an instant hit. Simple, fun, and family friendly. If you knew how to play Yahtzee or Kismet, you were seconds away from this next level of dice rolling/set building game.

It is indeed one of my favorite dice games. I think Sharpshooters could have been even more successful with a better packaging scheme. That big box was a pain to transport. The big plastic "arena" was a cool toy factor, but really quite unnecessary. The top of a smaller box would have served just as well for a dice tray. (Packaging of the Yahtzee version of Last Chance is actually better, in my humble opinion.)
