Mak'garok
an orcish game of dice

The rules
Mak'garok is played with two dice and requires two or more players. The players roll the dice on a flat surface. The die has a value ranging from 1 to 6.

Each player starts with three drinks. These drinks will be used as wager. Only one drink can be waged each round. The player that rolls the lowest value with his dice will put one drink in the pot at the end of the round. The game ends when only one player with a drink remains and the other drinks will be his.

The first round each player will roll one die to determine rolling order for next round. The player that has rolled the lowest value has to put one drink in the pot and he will be first to roll in the second round. Order of rolls is clockwise. During the rest of the rounds, two dice are used.

The lead player can roll the dice up to three times, but only his last roll counts. The number of times the lead player rolls the dice determines the amount of times the other players may roll the dice. For instance, if the lead player choses to roll the dice two times, the other players can choose to roll once or twice, if they are unhappy with their initial result.

There are a restricted amount of values you can roll with Mak'garok. For instance, if you roll 4 with one die and 2 with the other, your value is 42. If you roll 2 with the first die, and 6 with the other, your value will still be 62. The highest value is always dominant. Below you will find the summary of values.

# 31, 32
41, 42, 43
51, 52, 53, 54
61, 62, 63, 64, 65

“Mak'garok”


If the lead player rolls 21 (“Mak'garok”) with his dice, he will not participate in the round â€" So he can't lose the pot. The dice immediately will be passed on to the next player. That player will become the new lead player.

This dice game is based on the dice game "Mexico".
