new game. Use a checkerboard and cover <s>th</s> all the  <br>
spaces except the corners with chips. Each player has <br>
two dice of distinguishing colors, which are started  <br>
in the corners, each player occupying diagonally opposite <br>
corners. The position of the die (ie; number up, etc.) <br>
can be chosen by each player without seeing the opponent's <br>
position. Players in turn move either one of <br>
their dice. oves are orthogonal and exactly the distance <br>
of the number on the top at the <s>lo</s> start of the move. The <br>
die is rolled once, regardless of the length of the move. <br>
The move is in a straight line. <br>
Upon entering a space the player removes the chip <br>
and discards it from the game. A die may not land in <br>
a space from which the chip has been removed. A die <br>
may not pass over an opponent's <s>piece</s> die but may pass <br>
over a friendly die. <br>
Win by landing one of your dice exactly on one of <br>
opponent's or get the opponent into a position where <br>
neither die can move on his turn. <br>
