How it plays

How does it play?

In Targets, players don't roll their dice, but flick them from the top of a tower to try to land them on targets placed in the playing area. Have the highest number on a target, and you claim it at the end of the round — unless someone knocks you from that target first.

Read the full game description

In Targets, players don't roll their dice, but flick them from the top of a tower to try to land them on targets placed in the playing area. Have the highest number on a target, and you claim it at the end of the round — unless someone knocks you from that target first. If your die lands showing the same face as another one of your dice, call out quickly so that you can reclaim one of those dice, then shoot it again in the same round. When you claim targets in a round, those targets are placed under your dice stack and opponents can try to land on them in the subsequent round to steal them from you. Any targets not stolen this way are now safe from future theft. The first player to claim four targets wins!
