Round the Clock Dice Game Rules
Round the Clock is a dice game for 2-8 players. A game typically takes 10-20 minutes, and the recommended age is 6+.
Rules for Round the Clock: Roll the dice and hit the numbers 1 to 12 in order, like the hands moving around a clock face.
Setup
Round the Clock is played with two dice and suits two to eight players. There is nothing to write down and nothing to keep track of beyond your own progress.
The goal is to go round the clock: each player must hit the numbers 1 to 12 in order, like the hands moving around a clock face.
How to play
Players take turns, one roll of both dice per turn. Everyone starts at number 1.
The numbers 1 to 6 can be made with a single die, or with the sum of both. The numbers 7 to 12 must be made with the sum of both dice.
If you hit the number you are on, you move on to the next one. If you miss, you stay put and the turn passes to the next player.
Winning
The first player to work through the whole sequence from 1 to 12 has gone round the clock and wins the game.
