## Rules questions

### Can I cross out a number to the left of one I already crossed in that colour row?

No — numbers in each colour-row must be crossed from left to right; you may skip numbers but any skipped numbers may not be crossed later (page 1).

### Do the other players get to use the coloured die plus a white die, or is that only for the active player?

Only the active player may add one white die plus one coloured die and mark that colour-row; the other players may only use the sum of the two white dice announced by the active player (page 2).

### On my turn can I mark both the white-dice sum and a coloured+white sum (i.e., two marks)?

Yes — first the active player announces the white-dice sum which any player may mark (or not), and then the active player may (optionally) also mark a sum from one white die plus one coloured die for his colour, so the active player can mark in both actions (page 2).

### What happens if the active player can't or doesn't mark any number on their turn?

If the active player fails to cross out a number in either the first or the second action, they must make a mark in the “Misthrows” column (each misthrow is −5 points); non-active players never get misthrows for not marking (page 2).

### How do you finish/close a colour-row — do you need a minimum number of crosses?

To cross the extreme-right number and the lock you must already have at least five crosses in that colour-row; the lock mark counts as a cross, the row is then closed for all players and the corresponding coloured die is removed from the game (page 3).

### When does the game end?

The game ends immediately when a player records their fourth misthrow, or immediately when two colour-rows have been completed and removed (it’s possible a third row closes simultaneously during the first action) (page 3).
