Methods of playing games of chance utilizing dice are provided. A method of playing a stackable building block game is provided. The blocks are stacked in perpendicularly alternating levels and display a designated number. A player rolls a die to display a number and removes from the tower a block with a designated number equal to the number displayed on the die. The player then sets the removed building block on top of the tower. These steps are repeated until the tower falls. A method of playing a game of dominoes using stackable building blocks is provided. Players complete a game of dominoes. A player then rolls a die to display a number and removes the blocks displaying markings equal to the number displayed on the die. This is repeated by the players until all of the blocks are removed. The player having the most blocks is declared winner.
