In this dice game the players need not just luck,
but also deftness in throwing the dice. Not just
the number of pips, but also the position of the
three dice in the wooden arena is important. The
sum of the pips may only be entered into those
of the 64 squares on the board that are touched
by one of the dice. Additionally, this sum must be
greater than the values already noted in neighbouring
fields by the other players. Whoever
achieves this can use a coloured crayon to cross
out the competitor’s numbers. However it lies in
the nature of playing with dice that the best laid
schemes often go awry. Trying to improve one’s
throw may risk having one’s own entries crossed
out. In the end the most accurate dice thrower
with the highest valid point count wins.
