Chicago Dice Game Rules
Chicago is a dice game for 2-8 players. A game typically takes 10-20 minutes, and the recommended age is 6+.
Rules for Chicago: Eleven rounds with two dice, where the goal is to hit the sums 2 through 12 in order, one per round. Chicago is also known as Rotation.
Setup
Chicago is played with two dice and suits two players and up. You need pen and paper for scoring. The game is also known as Rotation, and a full match consists of eleven rounds, one for each possible sum from 2 to 12.
How to play
The rounds are played in order. In the first round the target is a sum of 2, in the second a sum of 3, and so on up to 12 in the final round.
Each round, every player rolls both dice once. Hit the round's sum and you score that many points: rolling 5 in the fives round scores 5 points. Miss, and you get nothing that round.
Winning
After eleven rounds the points are added up, and the player with the highest total wins. Note that the high rounds are worth the most: hitting 10, 11 and 12 near the end can turn the whole match.
