This game is based on the Hannukah favorite, Dreidel, which is typically a four-sided top with a Hebrew letter on each side.


The Object of this game is to get the high score each day.

Roll 4-sided dice, two of them. The first die represents your Dreidel roll. If you roll:

ש = 1 (Shin) Put one in, which means subtract one from your score. If your score is 0, nothing happens.

2 = ה (Hei) Half, which means take half, add half of the sum to your score, rounding up.

3 = נ (Nun) None, nothing happens to your score.

4 = ג (Gimel) All, which means add the sum to your score.

You may roll up to 8 times a day, keeping a running total of your score.

You can "quit while ahead" any time up to the fourth roll that you want to.

You may not delete or "re-roll" or "not count" any rolls.

When you decide to quit rolling, post your score for the day with this code:

[size=20][color=cornflowerblue]My Dreidel Score for Today is [/color][/size]


A small prize will be awarded to everyone who plays at least four times during the event.

The winner for each daily high score will receive a small prize.

Darkness and Wings = 4(p4) = 4
eclaire5 = 13(p2)+7(p4) = 20
Emalthya = 11 (p4)+8(p8 )+4(p9)+6(p10)+13(p11)+31(p12)+26(p13) = 99

Universal333 = 8(p1)+12(p2)+28(p3)+4(p4)+12(p5)+28(p6)+6(p7)+8(p8 )+13(p9) = 119

I think I've made it to 12, as the roll is similar to previous, but inverted. If I'm getting any of this wrong, feel free to correct. I can see where a 3 in a roll could mean the entire roll is null.

Ok, 2 and 4, so adding half is plus 3, and the whole sum is plus 6 = 21.

My Dreidel Score for Today is

Let me see if I can help.
1st roll: FaereFae rolled 2 4-sided dice: 2, 2 Total: 4 (2-8). The first die was a 2, so half of the sum (4) is 2. Score is 2.
2nd roll: FaereFae rolled 2 4-sided dice: 3, 2 Total: 5 (2-8). The first die was a 3, so nothing happened. The score is still 2.
3rd roll: FaereFae rolled 2 4-sided dice: 2, 3 Total: 5 (2-8). The first die was a 2, so score half of the sum (5) rounded up is 3, plus the current score of 2 is a total of 5. Score is now 5.
4th roll: FaereFae rolled 2 4-sided dice: 4, 2 Total: 6 (2-8). The first die was 4, so score the whole sum of 6, plus the current score of 5 = 11. Score is now 11.
5th roll: FaereFae rolled 2 4-sided dice: 3, 4 Total: 4 (2-8). The first die was 3, nothing happened. Your score to this point is 11.

I hope this helps!
