IDEA OF THE GAME

Every round, all players write down the same number (1–6) on their score sheets, but (usually) in different positions. After 22 rounds, each player will have completely filled in their score sheet. If at the end of the game, exactly two 2‘s are directly adjacent to each other, you score 2 points. If exactly three 3’s are directly adjacent, you score 3 points. For exactly four adjacent 4‘s, you score 4 points, and so on. The two star spaces double the points you score there.

HOW TO PLAY

Each player receives an identical score sheet. (For your first game, we recommend using game pad A. You can find the rules for game pad B and the solo variant at the end of this rulebook.)

Two dice are rolled.

All players must write both numbers on their sheets. Each player may freely choose where to write the numbers, but there is one rule they must follow:

• Both numbers must be symmetrical to the center line: they must be written down in the same row, at an equal distance from the center. You may choose which number you want to write down on the left, and which on the right.

Once all players are finished, both dice are rolled, all players write down both numbers again. Repeat until all spaces are filled on the scoresheet.


SCORING

Points are calculated as follows:

• 1 POINT For each 1 that‘s on its own, meaning there are no other 1’s orthogonally adjacent to it (diagonally is allowed).

•2 POINTS If exactly two 2’s are orthogonally adjacent. If more than two 2's are touching, score nothing for them.

•3 POINTS If exactly three 3’s are orthogonally adjacent.

•4 POINTS If exactly four 4’s are orthogonally adjacent

•5 POINTS If exactly five 5’s are orthogonally adjacent

•6 POINTS If exactly six 6’s are orthogonally adjacent

Numbers that are diagonally next to each other are not considered adjacent.

Score for each separate group of the same number. For example, if you manage to create three separate groups containing exactly three 3‘s, you score 3 points per group.

STAR SPACES double the value of a valid group.

The player with the highest final score wins. If there‘s a tie, those players share the victory.


GAME PAD B

The play area on game pad B also contains 44 spaces, 2 of which are star spaces. The same rules as in the normal game apply: there are no changes. However, the three heart spaces are new, which means the following rules are added:

• Numbers are written down in the three heart spaces according to the normal rules. If at the end of the game you managed to write down the same number in all three heart spaces, you score 5 bonus points.

Note: it doesn‘t matter whether these numbers are part of a valid group or not


SOLO PLAY

The rules and scoring do not change when playing a solo game. You can use either side of the scoresheet (Game Pad B allows you to score an extra 5 points, but the rows are shorter, making it slightly more difficult).

Compare your final score to this list to see how you did:

  • 27 points or less: you lose
  • 28-30 points: welcome to the club
  • 31-33 points: okay
  • 34-36 points: decent
  • 37-38 points: nice
  • 39-40 points: great
  • 41-42 points: top notch
  • 43-44 points: world class
  • 45-46 points: amazing
  • 47-48 points: spectacular
  • 49-50 points: unbelievable
  • 51 points or more: otherworldly
