The patent specifically mentions an "electronic device." While there have been electronic games that do most of what the patent claims it also talks about allowing players to set their own goals and award points based on whether those goals are accomplished or not.

Parts of it are covered elsewhere but the patent as a whole hasn't been done yet from my knowledge. I don't see how a scoring method can be moved completely unchanged from a paper and dice based game to an electronic game and get patented. It doesn't take any ingenuity to do that.
