Thirty Six

This is a game for any number of players, using only one die.

Order of play
Order of play is determined by a preliminary round, in which each player throws a single die. The lowest scorer becomes first shooter, the next-lowest second shooter, and so on. Each player puts an agreed stake in the pot.

Player 1 throw
Player 1

Player 2 throw
Player 2

Player 3 throw
Player 3

Objective
Players aim to score a total of 36 points. Any player scoring more than 36, however, is eliminated from the game. The winner is the player with the score nearest 36 points, and he takes the pot.

Play
Each player in turn rolls the dice once, totalling his score round by round. As he nears 36, he may choose to stand on his score, especially if it is 33 or more. In the event of a tie, the pot is divided.
