HOW TO PLAY

This game is played over a number of rounds. Each round consists of each player completing 3 phases. Each turn consists of 3 phases: Roll, Multiply, and Press.
On any turn, the player may add OR subtract as many blue and red dice to arrive at a different number to be used with the multiplier die.

 

DICE

The red die has a ★ which serves as a wild and can be used as any number 1-6. The blue and red die are only used once during a turn. Unused dice are ignored. As the game progresses, there will be situations where no bubbles will be pressed.

WINNING THE GAME

GAME VARIANTS

SPEED PLAY 1

The game lasts only 5 rounds for each player. After the 5th turn, each player counts the total of all unpunched numbers. Player with the lowest remaining total, wins!

SPEED PLAY 2

The game lasts only 5 rounds for each player. After the 5th turn, each player counts the amount of unpunched bubbles. Whoever has the least number of unpunched bubbles wins!

STAR OF DOOM

If a player gets a ★, instead of making it a number from 1-6, ignore the multiplier and unpunch bubbles on your pad that equal the total of the four blue dice. For example, if your dice amount is 19 and you have 3 and 16 punched, those two numbers get unpunched. In a situation where punched numbers cannot equal the sum of the dice, then unpunch bubbles to get as close to that number as possible.
