Goal of the game
Objective

Rules of PIG with two dice: game development
First turn
The player whose turn it is rolls the two dice at the same time repeatedly and adds up the points obtained in each roll until one of these things happens:
The player decides to stop and keeps the points earned so far.
If he gets a 1 on one of the dice and a number other than 1 on the other (1-2, 1-3, 1-4…) he loses everything added in that turn, that is to say, he does not add anything in that turn to his global score.
If a double result is obtained (1-1, 2-2, 3-3…) the player adds up the points as usual but will be obliged to roll the dice again, at which point he cannot stand up.
Next turns and rounds
The next player proceeds in the same way, and so on.
Update the score
It is important to update the scoreboard as the game progresses.
Game over – who takes the crown??
Game over
The game continues until, in some round, one of the players reaches 100 points, although that still does not make him the winner because all players must exercise their turn within that last round.
And the winner is…
The player with the most points at the end of the last round wins.
For example, if there are 4 players and this happens:
- Player 1: has 72 points after his turn
- Player 2: has 102 points after his turn, this will be the last round! At the moment he is the winner.
- Player 3: has 98 points after his turn. At the moment player 2 is still the winner.
- Player 4: obtains 104 points after his turn…
Player 4 wins!
