You can play it on the computer here or go down a bit for another way of playing.

RULES


To play the game, start with the cards all facing up:

pic3
 
- The first player rolls the two dice.
 
- They can turn over the cards which are the same as the numbers rolled.
For example, if a $4$ and a $5$ is rolled, they would turn over the $4$ and $5$ cards. They can roll the dice again until they can't turn over any cards. The cards that are left showing are then added and that's their score.
- The dice are then passed to the next player who turns the cards the right way up again and then rolls the dice in the same way as player one. They now can keep on rolling dice as long as each time they can turn over some new cards. When they can't turn any more over the cards that are left are added and that's the second person's score.
- The winner is the person with the lower score.
- By the way,  if a double is thrown, that person's  turn is finished!
 

A NOTE WHEN PLAYING ON THE COMPUTER

Variation $1$, you turn over the number shown on one or both dice.
Variation $2$, you turn over the value of both dice,  their sum, or their difference.
Variation $3$, you turn over a combination of numbers that add up to the sum of the dice.
Variation $4$, you turn over a combination of numbers that add up to the product of the dice.
The "SCORE - SUM" is with usual rules for scoring (by adding the cards that are left.)
The "SCORE - COCATENATE"  is scoring by reading the digits as a number and not adding them.
