CEO News:What is Klah Klok ? (I can hear some of you asking this question.)
Image
Klah Klok is a traditional betting game. Three dice are used that have pictures on each side instead of numbers. The players bet on which pictures they believe will be rolled and place their wagers on a game board. Then the dice are rolled into a bowl. The players win if a picture they wagered on appears. If more than one of their pictures are rolled, then their winnings multiply.

I've played myself at Kien Svay and other places. Pretty harmless (even my now nieces and nephews played) unless they were gambling big bucks or something. Often whole families play, but like 100-500r/game so you end up winning or losing like 8000-10 000r max over the course of two hours. Cheaper entertainment than a movie.
