How to play
How to play
The aim of this activity is to make 10.
Have 3 turns each to roll the dice, run to collect the number of counters rolled and place the matching number of counters on your game board.
You can choose to miss one turn, but it cannot be your last roll.
If you go over 10, you have ‘busted’ and are out of the game.
The player closest to 10 after 3 rolls each is the winner.
Players can play best out of 3, playing by making up to 10 as well as backwards to zero.
Variations
Variations
Include other operations, eg. subtraction.
Different target number, eg. 20.
