Rules for Sevens Out: Roll two dice and keep scoring until a seven ends your turn. The first player to 500 points wins.
Setup
Sevens Out is played with two dice, paper and a pencil, and suits 2 to 8 players. The goal is to be the first to reach 500 points. The rules take less than a minute to learn, which makes it a good choice when you want to get going quickly.
How to play
On your turn you roll both dice and add up the pips. The sum is added to your score, and you roll again, roll after roll.
Doubles count twice: two 4s score 16 points instead of 8.
Your turn lasts until the dice add up to seven. The seven scores nothing, and the dice pass to the next player. The points you managed to collect are yours to keep.
Winning
The first player to reach 500 points wins. It is worth finishing the round so everyone has had the same number of turns; if several players pass 500 in the same round, the highest score wins.
