How to play

Everyone has a scorecard with four coloured lanes. Red and Yellow count up from 2 to 12. Green and Blue count down from 12 to 2. Each lane ends with a finish flag. You score for every number you cross off, and more crosses in one lane score much more.

The dice

There are six dice: two white dice and one each in red, yellow, green and blue. When a lane closes, its coloured die leaves the race.

A turn

Players take turns being the roller. The roller rolls every die still in the race. Then there are two steps:

1. White dice (everyone): add the two white dice. Every player, the roller too, may cross off that number in one lane of their choice. It's optional. Everyone decides at the same time: you choose first, then you see what the others picked.
2. Colour die (roller only): the roller may then add one white die to one coloured die and cross off that sum in the lane of that colour. Also optional.

If the roller crosses nothing in either step, they spin out: −5 points. Players who aren't rolling never spin out.

Crossing rules

• In every lane, you cross numbers from left to right. You may skip numbers, but skipped numbers are gone for good. You can never go back.
• The last number of a lane (12 in Red and Yellow, 2 in Green and Blue) needs at least 5 crosses already in that lane.
• Crossing the last number also crosses the finish flag. The flag counts as one extra cross, and the lane closes for everyone: nobody can cross in it again, and its die is removed.
• If other players cross that same last number in the same white-dice step, they also get the flag.

End of the race

The race ends straight away when two lanes are closed, or when anyone takes their 4th spin-out.

Scoring

Each lane scores by how many crosses it has (the flag counts as one):

Add your four lanes and subtract 5 for each spin-out. The highest total wins.

Using this screen

• The dice tray has two parts. The lit part is the step being played: first the white dice (everyone), then the colour dice (the roller only).
• Numbers you can cross right now glow on your scorecard. Tap one to cross it, or tap Pass to skip that step.
• On your own roll, the cells you could reach in the colour step are outlined during the white step, so you can plan both. In the colour step, the sums show under each coloured die.
• The chips at the top show every driver's score. After you decide, each rival's chip shows the number they crossed in its lane colour (or a dash for a pass). Tap a chip to see that driver's whole scorecard.
• ⋯ → Game info has your score breakdown, the points table and the race log.
