RULES:
The object of the game is to get the lowest score. Setout the game board, and for classic rules, uncover all the numbers except for 10, 11 and 12. Or for a tougher game, uncover all the numbers. Pick a player to go first, the turns rotate. On your turn roll the dice then add the values together. Now cover up any amount of numbers whose sum also equals that total. Roll again and repeat. When you roll and can’t cover up all the numbers for the sum, then your turn ends. Add up all the numbers you left uncovered and score that many points.
If you manage to cover every number, then you have shut the box and instantly win the game. Once everyone has gone, then the player with the lowest score wins.
