I thought there may be some relationship between the numbers of letters in the words "petals around the rose" (ie. 6,6,3,4) and the answer... of course I was wrong, but somehow that thinking led me to the answer...

After thinking about the name for a few seconds, I caught on right away. I know a fun little game like it that involves sliverware and someone putting their hand down on the table in a certain position, so this one was an easy followup.

Fun little puzzle. I think letting people know that the name is important may be giving too much away...

 Im an avid gambler and the fact that "the name is signigicant" got me to thinking about how that realates to die. Id heard rose used as a 5 before somewhere on a cruise ship i believe and so figured out it had 4 petals. oops, maybe Ive said too much. sorry!

Interesting game. The only winning move is... not to play.
How about a nice game of chess?
I wasted about 10 mins on this puzzle. I think I have the answer because the webpage told me so, but I wouldn't be my life on my heuristic
...
Huh! I went back and spent 5 more mins, and now I completely understand. Simple game

Arg! After reading through the Bill.G article, most of these forum posts and working on every mathimatical variation for applying the name of the puzzle to the dice I finally "clicked" while reading one post. The answer was actually a bit of a let down, I was hoping it was going to be more complicated than that!
