Can't Stop is a push-your-luck dice and board game designed by Sid Sackson and first published by Parker Brothers in 1980. On each turn a player rolls four dice and splits them into two pairs, advancing neutral markers up columns numbered 2 through 12 on the board. The columns have different lengths, which roughly follows how likely each total is on two dice. After every roll the player chooses between stopping, which keeps the progress made that turn, and rolling again, which risks going bust and losing it. The first player to claim three columns by reaching their tops wins. Face 2 Face Games reprinted the game in 2007, Playdek released an iOS version in 2012, and the Spiel des Jahres jury recommended it in 1982.
