¿Question #3040?

Woelf: Dicericola, Puerto Diceo, Power Dice (or Dice Grid), PitchDice...
temasl: That was my first wargame, very simple but fun.
Randy Cox: Dice of Catan is the only thing that jumps right out at me immediately.

sos1: Because of the line-of-sight rules, Panzerblitz was often called Panzerbush, from tanks moving from bush to bush...
puffinge: examples of games renamed for any reason, not necessarily a dice-related reason.
CDRodeffer: I'm sure there are, like Risk, Talisman, and so on. These are all dice fests.
Spielfreak: Like, The Camel Game (Durch die Wuste)?
chaddyboy_2000: Yeah.
Tim Synge: Don't know. But apparently the London district of "Elephant and Castle" is so called because the Frenchman Alphonse de Castille" once stayed there and the locals couldn't pronounce his name properly.
