How to play: The game consists of two 3x3 boards, each belonging to their respective player. On a player's turn, they roll a single 6-sided die, and must place it in a column on their board. A filled column does not accept any more dice. Each player's score, which is the sum of all the dice values on their board. If a player places multiple dice of the same value in the same column, the score awarded for each of those dice is multiplied by the number of dice of the same value in that column.
