RULES:
The object of the game is to have the most points at the end. You score points by crossing out as many numbers in the 4 colors as possible while avoiding penalty points. Numbers must be crossed off from left to right in each row. You do not have to begin with the farthest left number, you may cross off any number, however, once you cross off a number you are no longer allowed to cross off any number to the right of it; so as you play you will have less and less options available to you.

Set out the dice and give each player a scoresheet and pencil. To determine who goes first, all players take turns rolling a die, and the first player to roll a 6 goes first. Reroll if you tie. On your turn, you are the active player, and you roll all 6 dice. Now, add up the total of the 2 white dice and call it out. All players, including you, may cross off one matching number on their score sheet in any single row. All players must either cross off a number, or choose not, to before moving on. Once finished, you may then combine 1 white die with any colored die to create a total for that colored die’s matching row and cross it off if you want. You may only do this once. If you did not cross off a space on your turn for either the white dice or the white and colored, then you must mark one penalty box in the bottom right. Only the active player is required to mark a penalty for not marking a row on their turn. Each penalty mark is worth minus 5 points. After marking, your turn ends and the next player clockwise goes.

The far right 2 boxes of each row are the row locks. You may only cross off the number once you have at least 5 other numbers crossed off in that row already. When you do, you get a bonus cross off of the padlock. This not only counts towards points for you at the end of the game, but it also immediately locks the row so no other player can cross off any numbers in that row for the rest of the game. Remove the matching colored die from the game so you no longer roll it. If multiple players can lock off a row at the exact same time, then they both get the bonus.

The game ends immediately once 2 rows get locked, or if a player crosses off all 4 of their penalties. All the players use the scoring chart at the bottom to calculate their points for each row, then adds them all up. Then the player with the most points wins.
