You only roll the amount of dice that corresponds with the amount of strips you have left, meaning that if you only have 2 strips left, you only roll 2 dice on that round. But as we play it, just because you have no strips left, does not mean you are out of the game. You can always get some from what the folks on either side of you roll. The winner is the last person who has a strip left.
This can also be played with fat quarters, etc. We just seem to gravitate to strips. We usually have a theme. The last time, it was Christmas in July--so one lady went home with enough strips to make a Christmas quilt. This works best if you have no more than about 15 people at a table. Otherwise it takes too long.
We also have little credit card sized 'cheat sheets' scattered around the table, so that the participants remember what each number means.
question if you roll a 4 or 5 do you pass all your 5 strips. If so and you end up with 10 strips when your turn would you pass all 10. So the continues till one person has all the strips except those in centre. What happens to thise in the centre
