This is a checkers variant where three dice are held in a plastic block. When "thrown" they indicate which pieces you may move this turn, yours or your opponent's - all except the opposing king(s). Adds some strategy elements to a simple game, but it's still checkers. Fun for families.

From an web game store:

Are you a lucky dog? Shake the Dog House Dice Shaker to determine your moves and slide the dog bowls across the checkerboard kitchen floor. Collect your opponent's bowls by jumping over them. Get rewarded with bone treats, but watch out for double jumps and triple jumps or you will really be in the dog house! The first player to capture all the bowls wins!
