Number of Players

The game may be played with two or more players.

Set Up

  • 2 six-sided dice
  • Something to write with and on

Players determine turn order in some fashion, preferably by rolling the dice and the turn order goes from highest to lowest or, alternatively, from lowest to highest.

Game Play

The acting player rolls their dice. If the total is 2 or 5 or any of the dice results are individually 2 or 5, the player “drops dead”, doesn’t record the result of those dice, and ends their turn. Otherwise, record the resulting total. Once the player ends their turn, they total their rolls.

Winning the Game

Once all players have taken a turn, the player with the highest score wins.

Betting

If the betting option is included, all players place wagers into the kitty. The winning player gets the kitty. If there is a tie, the kitty moves on to the next game.

Drinking

If the drinking option is included, the losing players take a drink at the end of the game.
