Description

The objective of the game is to be the first player to play off all of his/her cards and go out. The game makes use of a custom set of 36 numbered cards, six jokers, and two dice. The cards are first dealt evenly to all of the players. On their turn, a player rolls a dice and tries to match the dice with the cards he/she has that are of the same denomination, which is then placed in the discard pile. If he is able to discard, he throws again until he can no longer discard any cards, at which point the dice (and play) passes to the next player. Numbers are divided into blocked and free numbers. Free numbers can be used by other players to discard their cards if the player whose turn it was could not discard his/her cards. Blocked numbers can only be used by the player throwing the dice. Jokers serve as wild cards.
