    Players take turns rolling three dice and have to pass, keep or put chips into the pot based on the resulting roll. Players can use chips, coins or anything else they can think of. Fast paced, easy and fun for the whole family.

    The number of L's rolled indicates the number of chips to be passed to the player on the left, the number of R's rolled indicates the number of chips to be passed to the player on the right, and the number of C's rolled indicates the number of chips to be placed in the center, or "pot". (The dots are neutral and players do not pass any chips). The last player with chips, wins the game. It's that simple! Try it once and you'll be hooked!

    For 3 or more players, Ages 5 and up.
