FOUL PLAY , FAIR DICE

Here is a fast-moving and novel variation on a betcha-can't racing game. It is similar to the 100 POINT RACE except that you use the face numbers on dice for your counting. Required: One pair of dice, the secret, and a willing Victim. Take turns adding any one side of a die to the accumulating total until the goal of 50 is reached. The winner reaches 50 first.

THE KNOW HOW
The secret is to choose the figures you show on your die so as to capture these key numbers for yourself : 8, 15,22,29 , 36,43. Note that after you reach 8 you control the addition so that your Victim's number plus yours equals 7.

THE SHOW HOW
Make the choice of figures on your die seem quite random. Be casual, shake the di e as if any number would do, but—to yourself—watch your adding! I'll bet you can't win if you don't!
