Pile up the points — carefully! — in Dice Stack. On a turn, a player rolls the six tilted dice, then stacks them in numerical order from low to high, counting out the sum as they go and stopping any time they want to score the sum to that point. If they stack all six dice, they can roll the golden die, then attempt to place that on top; if they do so, they double the points they earn on that turn. If they drop a die at any time, their turn ends and they score no points. The first player to collect one hundred points wins!
