RULES

• The object of the game is to be the first player to play all their card, including Event cards, which are laid according to the dice thrown. In the simple version of the game no more than any two number cards can be played to make a ‘sum’. For example the Black 6 card (divided by) the Black 3 card to match the 2 on the Black dice. In a more complex game the number of cards allowed is unlimited. For example a Red 6 (plus) a Red 4 (divided by) a Red 2 makes 5 to match the 5 on the red dice)
  • The colour of the card/s that may be played relate to the colour of the dice by matching the number of the dice with the cards played
  • This is either…
    • Directly, I.e. playing a Red 5 card when a Red 5 dice is thrown
    • or by ‘Maths’ I.e. 3 plus 2 or 9 minus 4 etc if the player held those cards
    • The score on the dice can also be made by multiplication. For example the dice was 8 the player could play 2 multiplied by 4 if the player held those cards
    • The score can even be made by division. I.e. the dice was 3 the player could play 6 divided by 2 if they held those cards
  • The ‘plus, add, multiply and divide’ are said by the player when they lay their cards
  • If a player cannot lay a card they must pick from the deck.
  • When a card is played it goes face up next to the face down Deck pack
  • When the Deck pack is used up turn the played cards over and continue with those
   
  Once each player has had their turn the dice are thrown again. The game continues until one player has laid all their cards. That player wins the game and a game can be over quickly or last a while, depending on the cards dealt and the dice thrown
