Rules for Playing a Math Dice Point…

Once you call out a number, you must stick to that number until your opponent has found a closer number.

If you do call out a second number that is closer to the Target, you can’t use it.

Worse than this… your opponent can use it if they find an equation that works.

Players have 15 seconds to find a closer number than the one in play Players have 15 seconds to find a closer number than the one in play. If they can’t do so then the point is over.

If a player can’t come up with the equation you used to win a point: - First time this happens in a Round, is a Do-Over - Second time and beyond this, the Point is awarded to your Opponent

If you both call out the same number at the same time, or two numbers equal from the target at the same time… Call a Tie and Roll Again.

If you have a question or need a ruling from a Referee: - Raise your hand and one of them will come right over.

Your Referee has the last word on EVERYTHING!

Please use sportsmanship and be fair with each other while you play.

So now… let’s get going!
