Game Play

Players take turns adding dice of their own color to the board, one die per turn. A die can be placed on any empty field.

Capturing

When placing a dice, any set of dice which consists of

  1. two or more dice
  2. all of which or orthogonally adjacent to the dice which was just placed
  3. with a total sum of 6 or less eyes in the set of dice

can be captured.

If there is such a set, the placing player must choose one, remove all the dice in the captured set from the board and set the new dice such as to show the number of eyes that where just removed.

If there is no such set, no dice are removed and the new die shows a 1.

Game End

The game ends when the board has been completely filled. The player with the larger number of dice wins.
