More complicated than both combined but so intuitive once you learn the simple techniques. Line up the dice by the number on the sides, 2 two's, 3 three's, all the way to 6 sixes. Combos 'wipe out' when the wipe line crosses over them. Each combo dice counts towards your multiplier until there are no more combos to wipe when the wipe line hits the bottom. More
