News from Compendia Traditional Games, October 2003  

Thank you for ordering from www.compendia.co.uk in our first year. As a special thank you we’d like to give you a free game. Everybody has a few dice lying about and you just need to pick out three and dust them off to play this fun dice game. The rules are below.

Those of you that have been to our shop will know that in December we get very busy. We don’t mind being busy and we know as well as anyone that Christmas is a good time to enjoy a new game, but we’d like to let you know that the simplest way to get our great games for Christmas is to order by the end of November.

I hope you enjoy your new game,

Rob Toogood


Newmarket

Number of Players: 2-6
Game Duration: 30 mins
Players Aged: 6 +

You Will Need : 3 dice and paper to score on.

To Play: Players take turns to roll the three dice. After the first throw the highest number is saved and the other 2 dice are thrown. Again the highest number is saved and the last die rolled. The 3 dice scores are totalled and the next player begins. If in the first throw, a triplet (3 of a kind) is rolled the spot values are ignored and a bonus of 30 points is scored. If on the second throw a pair is thrown the spot values are ignored and a bonus of 15 points is scored, otherwise players score the total spot value. The first player to 100 points wins.
