• Cross out 2 or more numbers which equal sum of the two dice. For ex, if you rolled 2 and 5, you can cross out 1 and 6; or 2 and 5; or 3 and 4; or 1, 2 and 4.
• You can not cross out only one of the 2 dice. For ex, if you rolled 1 and 2, and 1 is already crossed out but 2 is available, 2 can not be crossed out alone. You can only cross out all slots totalling sum of the 2 dice or, none if at least one of those slots is not available.
