How it goes
- Both players secretly throw two hands. The smaller throw moves first; matching throws are thrown again, and the tied pair is then barred.
- Everyone secretly throws two hands. The biggest throw starts, and the biggest single hand breaks a tie on the total.
- If the top is tied, only those players throw again - and their new throw replaces their hands, so going lower to take the start is a real choice.
- On your turn, add one of your hands to any other hand still in play, including your own.
- On your turn, add one of your hands to any other hand still in play - anyone's, or your own. Play goes around the table.
- A hand that goes over the limit is out of the game: it can no longer attack or be attacked.
- Down to one hand with an even value, you may split it back into two. That is your move for the turn.
- Lose both hands and you lose the game.
- Lose both hands and you are out; the last player left wins. If the game goes in circles, whoever is holding the most takes it.
