INSTRUCT
PLAYERS: 2-6 AGES: 8+
Any player who equals or beats the target number receives
2 chips from the pot. Any player that rolls a sum of 2 or 8
anytime during the game follows the STING and STUNG rules.
CONTENTS: 12 dice; 50 chips
SET-UP: Each player gets 2 dice and 3 chips. Place rest of
chips in the center playing area (pot). Extra dice are not used.
BONUS FOR GOING ALONE:
If no other players are “in,” then you roll alone and your
winnings are doubled. For example, you‘d get 4 chips if you
equal or beat the target number. Losses are not doubled.
PLAY: The youngest player begins the game. Play passes to
the left. On your turn:
• Roll your two dice and add the numbers.
OUT OF CHIPS: If a player owes the pot, but has no chips to
pay, the player “lucks out” and does not pay. A player who is
out of chips may still roll as usual to try to win chips.
• STUNG: If the sum is 2, you‘ve been Stung and you must
pay the pot 2 chips. Your turn is over.
THE WINNER: The game is over when there are no chips left
in the pot or when there are not enough chips to pay the
winnings. (these chips stay in the pot). NOTE: Chips lost are
always paid to the pot before chips won are taken. The player
with the most chips wins the game.
• STING: If the sum is 8, you‘ve rolled a Sting! Take 2 chips
from the pot AND each player pays you 1 chip. Your turn is
over. (If a player has no chips, then he does not pay).
• If the sum is any number other than 2 or 8, this number
becomes the “target number.” You must roll again to try to
equal or beat the target number. Before you roll, all other
players decide if they are “in” (i.e., whether they also want to
roll to equal or beat the target number). On the count of “three”
the players who are “in” all roll their dice. Any player who rolls
lower than the target number pays 1 chip to the pot.
