Dice Sequence

A connected series of five of the same colored gem either up, down, across or diagonally on the playing surface.

OBJECT OF THE GAME:

For 2 players or 2 teams: One player or team must score TWO SEQUENCES before their opponents.

For 3 players or 3 teams: One player or team must score ONE SEQUENCE before their opponents.

PREPARATION:

Place the game board on a flat surface with enough room around the game board for rolling dice.

Players roll one die each. The highest number starts first.

RULES:

On a player’s turn, roll both dice. Add the total of both dice and the player can place a gem on a corresponding space with the same number as the total from the dice rolled. If the space is not available, they do not place a chip.

Special Rolls

Rolling a 2 (Snake Eyes) – ROLL AGAIN – If the corner spaces are not filled, you may place a gem on one of these spaces and roll again. If all four corners are covered, you can roll again without placing a gem.

Rolling a 10 – WILD – You may place a gem on any empty space.

Rolling an 11 – REMOVE – You may remove one of your opponent’s gems as long as it is not already part of a sequence of 5 gems.

Rolling a 12 – Switch – You may switch one of your gems with one of your opponent’s gems as long as neither gem is already a part of a sequence of 5 gems.

Table-Talk

There must be no table-talk or coaching team members. If a teammate says anything that alerts a fellow teammate to the fact that they are about to do something that they shouldn’t, the opposing team may remove a gem from the table-talker.

Play continues in a clockwise direction until one player or team scores the required number of SEQUENCES, at which point that player or team wins the game. If you are playing the game which requires two SEQUENCES to win, you may use any one of the spaces from your first SEQUENCE as part of your second.

PLAYERS:

Any number from 2 to 12 that is divisible by 2 or 3 can play (2,3,4,6,8,9,10, or 12). Up to 3 may play individually. More than 3 must be in teams. No more than 3 teams can play.

EQUIPMENT:

Game Board, 50 Green Marker Gems, 50 Blue Marker Gems,1 set of 2 dice (D6).

When two players or teams are playing, use only blue and green marker chips.

**If 3 people or teams are playing, you will need 35 markers, such as coins or a different color of gem to play.

Have fun!
