Rules 

Each player takes their turn rolling the die and selecting a column to place it. If the die matches any dice on the other side, they are removed and their points are removed from that player's score. 

The game ends when either side fills up with dice. The winner is determined by total points on their side of the board. If both scores match, the game ends in a Tie.

Points

Points are accumulated by placing and creating combos in a column. Each die is worth its face value. Combos are worth the total value of the dice times the size of the combo.
