	== Goal of the ~~Game ==~~		== Goal ==
			The goal of Number Drop is to have the most points at the end of game. To do this, players compete by dropping placing numbers and dropping shapes to earn identical or sequenced number combinations.

	== Game ~~turn~~ ==		== Game Play ==
			Each turn, both players receive the same number and shape options. Players decide how to use these options and place them on their board. At the end of the turn, these choices are revealed for other players to see.

			There are 4 phases to each turn, with a possible 5th if blocking has been activated:

			# Roll the Dice
			# Block (if applicable)
			# Drop a Shape
			# Create (claim) a Combo
			# End Turn (score)

	=== Phase 1: Roll the dice ===		=== Phase 1: Roll the dice ===
			The BGA adaptation of Number Drop will handle this phase for you.


			5 dice (4 number dice and 1 shape die) are rolled each turn.

			* The shape die has 4 shape options and a star which represents a wild card (you choose your shape).
			* The number dice contain numbers 1 - 7, as well as stars (wild). The stars may be used as any number from 1 - 7, as well as 0, 8, or 9.


	* The first player rolls the ~~5 dice~~.		'''If blocking was activated in the previous turn ''AND'' any of the die reveal a star, phase 2 begins. Otherwise, players proceed to phase 3.'''

Gnip: Added missing "BLOCK activation" section from official documentation to phase 4. Without this, the wiki-based documentation was incomplete as you didn't know how a BLOCK would get circled.

			BLOCK activation:
			* If a player creates both combos of the same size (for example 3 consecutive & 3 identical numbers), they can circle the BLOCK letter, on the right of the corresponding combinations (if it hasn’t been crossed off before). That will activate a potential penalty for their opponents. (See phase 2).
