RULES:
The object of the game is to have the most points. The game ends once at least one player has the minimum point value to end the game based on the number of players as seen under the box lid. Sit in a circle and set out 1 tile for each player, beginning with 3 and ascending upward. Each player rolls the die and the highest goes first, then play proceeds clockwise.
On your turn you must decide to either collect the lowest available number tile from the center or roll the die. If you collect the tile, take it and place it in front of you. That tile’s number determines how many points you will earn at the end of the round. After taking a tile, you are out for the round, and your future turns during that round are skipped.
If you decide to not take a tile, then roll the ten-sided die. If you roll an explosion number, then you are eliminated from the round, score nothing, and the next player goes. Explosion numbers are equal to all the numbers for turns you have had in the current round. So, for your first turn in the round, your explosion number is only the number 1. On your second turn, your explosion numbers are numbers 1 and 2. Your third turn is numbers 1 through 3; fourth is 1 through 4, and so on.
After rolling an explosion number and getting eliminated, flip over the lowest number tile to reveal the +1 and place it below the highest number tile. If you rolled a non-explosion number, then you are safe and the next player goes. Repeat the process of taking tiles or rolling until only 1 player remains. That player wins the round and takes the highest number tile on the table, along with all +1’s below it. Every player with tiles in front of them now scores those points, which are recorded on a scorepad.
Return all of the collected tiles back to the center, flipping over all +1’s, and play another round with the player who won the previous round going first in the next. Repeat this process until at least 1 player’s score has surpassed the amount needed to end the game, then the game ends, and the player with the most points wins.
