📋 How to Play
- Set all numbered tiles to the open (upright) position to start.
- Roll both dice and add the numbers together.
- Flip down any combination of tiles that adds up to your total — for example, a roll of 8 could mean flipping down tiles 3 and 5, or just 8.
- Keep rolling until no valid tile combination is left to flip.
- Add up any remaining open tiles — that's your score. Lower is better!
- Play solo and try to beat your own score, or take turns with up to 3 other players and see who finishes lowest.
