Delete Virtually no coverage whatsoever in reliable secondary sources. Nwlaw63 (talk) 15:43, 12 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Weak keep, There are a few books coming up on google books that mention the game [1] [2], there are also a few articles [3] [4] [5] - the articles are not massively detailed but along with the books I'm leaning towards keep. Ym2X (talk) 22:04, 15 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - Of Ym2X's sources, none of the three internet articles establish notability. One is just a mention in a list article of popular dice games, so not sufficient coverage; another is a slightly longer but still brief mention in a list of gambling games to play during the Super Bowl and so not significant; the third seems to be a blog, so not reliable, and LCR is not really the focus of the piece, so not significant. Of the books, the second looks to be a single page from a book containing "over 100" games so that does not strike me as significant coverage - and, as far as I can see (although I can only see a small preview), it looks mostly a description of how to play the game without much that could support encyclopedic content. The first book source is a few pages in a book written about game design and discusses the game in a more analytical way (the features of the game which do/do not make it fun and how these might be used to design better games). This is still pretty short but I think just counts as significant coverage. Another source like this and I think the article would just squeeze past GNG; however, it is not enough on its own. The sources cites in the article are all primary. If someone could dig up another source (or ideally a couple more) like Ym2X's first source I'd be happy to !vote keep; as it stands, I'm delete.
