We've broken down the rules of knucklebones to make them easy to digest. Read on for a crash-course in the forest's favorite dice game, as well as winning strategies to help you rake in the gold!
Players take turns rolling a single six-sided die and placing it on their side of the board. Each player has their own 3x3 grid, and their score is the total of all the dice currently placed there. When one player has filled all nine slots on their board, the game ends and the player with the highest score wins.
Each player's grid is divided into three columns. If a player has two or three dice showing the same number in a single column, their values are added together and multiplied by the number of matches. Getting matching dice in the same column is the best way to drive up your score.
If a player places a die that matches one or more dice in their opponent's corresponding column, all of their opponent's matching dice are removed. This allows you to get rid of high-scoring dice, even doubles or triples, as long as you have somewhere for your matching die to go.
