GAmEPLAY
​
1. CHOOSE A SCOREKEEPER
The Scorekeeper will record the player's names and scores during the game. The player to the Scorekeeper's left becomes the Caster for the first round. The Caster changes after every round in a clockwise fashion.
​
2. THE ANTE (OPTIONAL)
Each player will pay the agreed ante into the pot for this game.
​
3. THE SET
​
The caster rolls the dice in the dice cup and sets it on the table without revealing the dice.
​
3. THE CALL
​
Starting from the Caster's left, each player declares either Val (Red) or Des (Blue).
​
4. THE REVEAL
​
The Caster lifts the cup to reveal the result. Every player who successfully called the colour of the roll wins a point. The role of Caster passes to the left, and the next round begins.
​
5. SCORING
​
Play continues for seven sets. After the seven sets are completed, the Scorekeeper reviews the player's scores. If any player has made 3 correct calls in a row, that player is awarded 2 bonus points.
​WINNING THE GAME
​
After the scores have been checked and bonus scores awarded, the player with the most points wins the game. If there is a tie, play additional rounds until the tie is broken.
