HOW TO PLAY

Start here.

YOU’LL NEEDNothing
  1. 1One player chooses Odd. The other player is Even.
  2. 2Together, count ‘One, two, three, show!’ On ‘show,’ each player holds out zero, one, two, three, four, or five fingers.
  3. 3Add both players’ fingers. If the total is odd, Odd scores one point. If the total is even, Even scores one point. Zero counts as even.
  4. 4Keep the same roles and throw again. The first player to five points wins; switch Odd and Even for the rematch.

REMIX THE RULES

Complete twists.

Role-reversal setBefore the first throw, choose one Odd player and one Even player. Play exactly five throws, scoring one point after every combined total, then switch the Odd and Even roles and reset both scores to zero. Play five more throws; the player who wins the most points across both sets wins, and a tied total triggers one final sudden-death throw.
