Hey everyone,
Having played this a bit, I've got some suggestions for how to make it work a little better. The original game is great if you're just playing one round, and you don't mind a long game, but if you want a quicker one, or you're planning multiple rounds, then here's what I suggest:

Keep Digging: Version 2

This version is played exactly as version 1 (above) except for the following:

1. Start with a 10-sided dice instead of a D20.
2. When one person rolls a 1, the other person stops rolling. The loser then continues to roll all the numbers down to and including D2, and any additional 1s are added to his points. The loser does not roll a D1. A D1 is only rolled if no-one has yet rolled a 1.

This will speed the game up a bit, and make it slightly more predictable. Average score for the loser is about 3, and sometimes goes as high as 8.

Happy rolling!
