Description
Give each player two dice and deal a standard deck of cards into four face-up piles in the center.
Then, on a count of “1, 2, 3, dash!” players start rolling their dice, in real-time.
After each roll a player can take all the cards from the center that equal the sum of their dice (Jacks are 11 and Queens are 12; Aces and Kings are only used in variants). If they take any cards, they must reroll both dice, otherwise they can choose to reroll one or both of their dice.
Keep rolling, as fast as you can, until two of the piles run out.
Scoring
2s and Queens are 3 points, 3s and Jacks are 2 points and every other card is 1 point each.
