Gig'l

Playing Rounds

1. Roll the dice up to three times to get the highest total of points possible. (You may elect not to roll all of the Gig’l cubes at once during your play. Select the Gigl’ cube you wish to use for points and roll the rest.)

2. At the end of three rolls, count the number of the faces showing on top of the cubes that are the same and place that amount in the # (number) column next to the Gig’l cube face listed on your score sheet. Multiply the number times the face value and put the answer in the Pts (points) column. Subtotal A and then subtract the total amount of points lost due to blank faces of the dice showing on top after the final role of the dice and subtotal for B.

3. Pick an Action Bonus card from the top of the pile.

4. The player to your LEFT arranges the 6 Gig’l cubes in the order they want you to read from left to right. (See Options below for playing the game.)

5. You must read the Gig’l cubes while performing the action the card specifies. (Note: If you choose not to do the action, you must place -20 in the Bonus space.) After you complete the Action Bonus, place the amount of bonus points awarded in a block provided and add up your total for the round. If another player is requested to participate as stated on the card, they place the point value listed next to the P (P=Participant and Y=You) at the bottom of the Action Bonus in one of the Bonus spaces for that round on their own score sheet. (Note: If the participant requested in your Action Bonus card refuses to participate, they must place a -10 in one of their Bonus spaces.)

6. After the Action Bonus card has been used, place it at the bottom of the deck or upside-down in another pile.

7. Pass the dice to your LEFT for the next participant to play their round.

8. After each player has completed their three rounds, write the amount in the Total 3 Rounds space.

9. The person with the highest Grand Total wins the game.

Bonus Bet

This is not a required play. After completing the three rounds, a player may choose to try "one last time" to win the game! Each player has the opportunity to go for extra points. (Please be aware, you may lose points here!) In order to take advantage of the Bonus Bet, draw the top card. If it requires an action, role all six dice only ONCE and pass the dice to your left for that person to arrange for you to read. The Bonus Bet amount you place in the block is the total of all six Gig’l cubes and the Bonus Action card value! Remember, you must perform the action while reading in order to get the points. Any person who participates in the Bonus Action as requested by the card will also get the bonus points stated on the card for the participant. Add the total of the three rounds and the Bonus Bet score to place in the Grand Total box.

6 of a Kind

If all six dice show the same face at the end of the player's turn, add the additional points to the total six face values as specified in the following: HO=5; HA=10; TE=15; HE=20; Dot=25; Blank= +150 and do not subtract any points. (i.e., HO values are 20 each, so 6 X 20=120. Then add the extra 5 pts. Therefore, the total amount to place in the Pts column is 125.)

Game Options

If an option is to be done, all the participants must agree to the option in order to play the game!

1. Make up a sound (or word) for the non-letter faces of the dice: i.e., pst, sh, sss, pft, chi, orf, or no.

(This has been the most popular option!)

2. The dice rolled with a blank face or dot showing on top can not be picked up and rolled again.

3. Action Bonus cards are not used.

5. Dice falling off of the playing surface may not be rolled again.

6. Make up your own option.

7. Combinations of the above.

Action Bonus Cards

The title, action, quantity, and point values for each Action Bonus card is listed below. Unless noted, all point values are given to the person who drew the card. If another individual is requested by the card to participate in the action bonus, that person is also awarded points. Their point value is shown with a P (Participant) and your points awarded are listed next to the Y (You). Note: All Participants are designated as the person to your right.

If an Action Bonus card does not have the word Double or Triple at the top of the card, the face of the dice are read only once from left to right. The word Double means the cubes are read two times in succession and Triple means the cubes are to be read three times. Note: ">R" signifies the person to your right.
