Bau cua ca cop, Vietnamese dice game.

Bau cua ca cop is a Vietnamese gambling game using three dice. The six sides of the dice, instead of showing numbers one through six, have pictures of a fish, prawn, crab, rooster, calabash gourd and stag. Players place wagers on a board, betting on which pictures will appear. (The game is similar to the English dice game Crown and anchor).

Bau cua ca cop is often played at Tet (Vietnamese New Year).
