About the game
What you do in a play session
In "Jam" mode, the goal is to get rid of your dice as quickly as possible by flicking them into the central hole of the board. When one player manages to get all their dice into the hole, the round ends. Then, scoring occurs: each die still in play (either on the board or knocked off) counts penalty points based on its top face value. Dice off the board count as 4 points. The player with the lowest aggregate score after one round per player wins. It's a race against time and your own aim to avoid negative points.
In "Sumo" mode, the dynamic flips completely! You start with all your dice on the board, and the goal is to use your flicks to knock your opponents' dice off the board or into the central hole. When a player no longer has any dice in play, the round ends. Scoring here is positive: each player adds up the values of the top faces of the dice they still have in play. The highest aggregate score after one round per player is the champion. It's a true dice tug-of-war, where you need to be strategic to keep your pieces in the ring and eliminate your opponents'. Get your fingers ready for lots of action and laughs!
