Turn Sequence:
Determination Die:
-
The determination die may yield -1, -5, -10, -15, +5, or 😊.
-
If the result is -1, -5, -10, -15, or +5, the player adjusts their total score accordingly, either subtracting or adding the indicated value.
-
If the result is 😊, the player proceeds to roll the grand die.
-
The starting player rolls 4 number dice and 1 math die.
-
The math die determines the mathematical operation to be performed (+, -, /, or ×).
-
The player forms two sets of numbers from the rolled dice according to the operation indicated on the math die and calculates the results.
-
For example, if the math die shows "×" and the player rolls 6, 4, 3, 2, they would calculate (6 × 4) and (3 × 2), then add the results together.
-
If the player rolls a 😊 on the math die, they roll the determination die.
Grand Die:
-
The determination die may yield -1, -5, -10, -15, +5, or 😊.
-
If the result is -1, -5, -10, -15, or +5, the player adjusts their total score accordingly, either subtracting or adding the indicated value.
-
If the result is 😊, the player proceeds to roll the grand die.
