How to play
Each player places their 10 counters of their subtraction stack gameboard. More than one counter can be placed on each number.
Take turns by rolling the dice and finding the difference between the two numbers rolled.
If a counter is on the number, the player removes it from the gameboard.
If there are no counters to remove, miss a turn.
The winner is the player who removes all counters from their gameboard first.
