Chip distribution: The first player then keeps or loses chips according to how successful or unsuccessful her dice rolls were. Here are the rules:
- Lose one chip for any roll defeated by the center Black die. Place the lost chips in the center playing area. This is an unsuccessful roll.
- No chip is lost for any roll that defeats the center Black die. This is a successful roll.
- For any roll that matches the symbol on the center Black die, pass one chip to the player on your right.
- For any roll that says "PASS LEFT", pass one chip to the player on your left.
The Winner
