To start the game, you need three dice, at least three players, and three chips for each player. Coins can be used in place of chips for additonal players. After determining which player starts the game, the first player rolls three cubes. The number of 4's, 5's, 6's or Dots rolled dictate where the player's chips go.

• The number of 4's indicates the amount of chips to be passed to the player on the left.
• The number of 5's indicates the amount of chips to be passed to the player on the right.
• The number of 6's indicates the amount of chips to be passed to the center or "pot".
• The DOTS are neutral and players neither pass nor place chips in the pot for any DOTS rolled.

When a player has only 1 or 2 chips, he rolls only 1 or 2 dice. If a player has no chips, he is still in the game, but passes the cubes to the next player. The last player with chips is the winner, does not roll the cubes and wins the center "pot".
