How to Play

Roll all four dice at once.

Choose the Die

The color of the text and arrow on the white die determines which one of the colored dice you'll use. For instance, if the white die shows "Fewest" (red) you will use the Red die. The other two dice are totally ignored.

Determine the Start Player

Whatever the category on the chosen die is determines who should go first. For instance, if the Red die shows "buttons" then the person with the fewest buttons goes first.

Ties

If there is a tie, the player who is tied who is also closest to where the arrow is pointing goes first.

Players Who Do Not Qualify

If only some of the players qualify for a category (for instance, if one of the players does have shoes on when "shoes" appears on the blue die), you may choose to roll again, or you may decide to exclude that person from being eligible for going first.

Die Face Chart

This chart shows what the intent of each of the die faces is; however, feel free to interpret or redefine these categories as you see fit.
