Be the first player to get all ten of your dice to show the same number.
How to Play
(2-4 players.) Each player chooses a set of dice. Players hold all ten dice in their hands. Someone says "Go" and everyone rolls at the same time.
Quickly look at your roll and decide which number you are going to go for. (For example, if you have more 3's than any other number, that's probably what you want to go for.) Put all your dice with that number aside, grab the remaining dice and quickly roll again. (You do not have to wait for others to roll again. Everyone rolls together only on the first roll.) Keep rolling as fast as you can until all ten of your dice show the same number.
Winning
The first player to get all ten of their dice to match (ten 3's, for example) shouts out "TENZI" and wins the game!
And There Are Lots More Ways to Play!
Tenzi Tower
Instead of putting your successfully rolled dice aside, stack them one on top of the other. First player to get all ten of their dice stacked and shout "TENZI" wins!
Splitzi
Instead of trying to get all ten dice of one number, try to get five dice of one number and five dice of another number, and then yell "TENZI".
Team Tenzi
Join forces and play in teams! Get all your team's dice on one number. Or play this way - each team member goes for a different number!
Mega Tenzi
Ten dice not enough for you? You'll really have your hands full with twenty dice! Double the challenge, double the frenzy!
Stealzi
If you see another player roll the number you're going for, steal those dice and give the player an equal number of your dice. No stealing on the first roll of the game, or from any player going for the same number as you!
Target Tenzi
All players declare which number they're going for before the first roll. Or, decide on one number that everyone has to go for!
