LCR vs LeftCenterRight

If you ever spend any time in the game section of your local Target, Wal-Mart, or other mass market store then there’s a good chance you’ve spotted LCR: Left Center Right*, a small dice game that is available in several different types of packaging. Hardcore game fans often look down on LCR, but the game’s a financial success selling far more copies each year than a lot of games out there.

And, it seems, it’s so successful that it’s being produced by multiple companies. A few nights ago at Target I noticed that the LCR tin I often saw in the store was gone, replaced by a game titled LeftCenterRight from Spin Master. I thought that was a bit strange, so a little searching online revealed that Spin Master acquired their LeftCenterRight game last year in a purchase of several games from Imagination Games (ToyNews article). But that still didn’t tell me how we got from George & Co. Games’ LCR to this new LeftCenterRight package from Spin Master.

Well, it looks like I’m not having any luck at all tracking down what’s going on so what we’ll do instead is compare the two games. They both have identical game play — roll dice and pass chips either to players on your right or left or to the center of the table — so the only differences between the two games are completely in the components. It reminds me of a game satta king where chance plays a big role.

Packaging

What we see here are George & Co. Games’ tin and Spin Master’s plastic tube. Both are small, portable packages that should be pretty durable. I like the size and look of Spin Master’s package better, but that lid just keeps popping open so the winner in this category has to be LCR.

Dice

George & Co. Games is the clear winner is this category. LCR packs the dice in a ziplock bag and they’re easy to read, with a big “L, C,” and “R” right on the die which is easy to spot from across the table. LeftCenterRight shrinkwraps the dice together and I’m still trying to get the shrinkwrap off of the dice. The photo below shows the wrap adhered to the dice . . . this is really frustrating. Also, the Spin Master edition spells out words — and replaces “C” with a star icon — so the dice aren’t as easy to read from a distance.

Poker Chips

Both games come packaged with 24 mini-poker chips that are nearly identical (just different colors) so there’s a draw in this category, to find out more about this kind of games visit WTVR for different casinos and their reviews.

Closing Thoughts

LCR and LeftCenterRight are essentially identical to each other and I have to choose the tin from George & Co. Games as my winner because:

• The tin is sturdier than the plastic tube.
• The dice are easier to read.
• LCR was on shelves first.

But regardless of which version of the game you go for this makes a good gift for the casual gamers in your family. It’s popular with the older crowd and those who love to gamble — it’s not uncommon to hear people dropping the poker chips and using money — and it’s inexpensive enough to grab for anyone who you’re shopping for this year or try them in an online casino.
