Y Deis

Welsh-language dice quiz where three pairs battle through luck-based rounds for a jackpot of up to £4,800.

Starring S4C
Overview

James Williams presides over a half-hour studio at Enfys Studios, Cardiff, where three duos gamble on the tumble of two coloured dice. Round one is a straight sprint: answer on the buzzer, move your 18-step ladder by the pips shown, first two teams to the top progress. The grid round that follows turns a 6×6 board into a mini-casino; each square hides £40-£200, three golden squares let you filch half the rival bank, and landing on an already-hit square wipes your wallet clean. The surviving pair carry their bank into a timed final: roll twice to build a pot that can top £4,800, then take turns on a six-step true-false track where a single slip can send you back and cost the lot.

Slam Media’s format leans hard on randomness—question difficulty barely matters when the dice can award 2 or 12 points, £40 or £200, double or nothing. Celebrity specials on 25 and 31 December 2025 drafted Iolo Williams and son Dewi, Jonathan Nefydd and Donna Edwards from Pobol y Cwm, and rugby icons Shane Williams and Nigel Owens, all leaving with fuzzy dice if the cubes turned nasty. The consolation prize has already become cult currency. S4C transmits the seven-episode first run in Welsh, with optional English subtitles on BBC iPlayer, turning a tight local quiz into a stealth nationwide novelty.
