Each player in turn throws the ten special dice and then throws the two regular dice and chooses special dice that add up to the regular dice. Blanks are wild. Continue throwing the regular dice until the throw can't be used. Count the remaining numbers against the player. (Fairly complete idea.) Spare-Time:- Spoke to the owner for quite a time.
