Round the Clock

This is a game for three or four players, using two dice.

Objective
Players try to throw 1 through to 12 in the correct sequence. The winner is the first player to complete the full sequence.

Play
Each player throws in turn, rolling the dice once only.

From 1 through to 6 he can score on either of the two dice, or on both of them. For example, if he throws a 1 and a 3, but wants only a 1, this die alone would count, and at his next throw he would try for a 2. If, however, he wants a 4, he would count both dice (1+3=4).

A player can also count both dice as separate scores, if he can use both of them. For example, if he needs a 1, and throws a 1 and a 2, he can count both the 1 and the 2.

From 7 through to 12, however, the combined spot values of both dice are obviously needed.
