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> | |||

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> | |||
