MANY WAYS TO PLAY RUKKA

RUKKA RACE:

• START WITH ALL RUKKA BLOCKS IN A PILE IN THE MIDDLE
• ONE PLAYER SAYS 1-2-3-GO!
• ALL PLAYERS RUSH TO CREATE THE TALLEST TOWER USING ANY BLOCKS AVAILABLE FROM THE PILE
• PLAYERS MAY ONLY TAKE ONE BLOCK AT A TIME
• THE PLAYER WITH THE TALLEST TOWER WHEN ALL BLOCKS HAVE BEEN USED IS THE WINNER
• ANY PLAYER WHOSE TOWER COLLAPSES IS OUT AND THEIR BLOCKS GO BACK INTO THE MIDDLE

1 VS 1 RUKKA:  SEE WHO CAN MAKE THE TALLEST TOWER.

• START WITH A PILE OF BLOCKS IN THE MIDDLE OF THE TABLE
• EACH PLAYER THROWS THE DICE IN TURN BUT INSTEAD OF ADDING TO A COMMON TOWER; THEY EACH TRY TO MAKE THEIR OWN TOWER AT EACH END OF THE TABLE
  
• THE PLAYER WITH THE TALLEST TOWER WHEN ALL THE BLOCKS ARE USED UP IS THE WINNER. THE PLAYER WHOSE TOWER FALLS DOWN FIRST, LOSES
  
• PLAYERS WHO THROW 'PASS' CAN TOSS THE DICE AT THE OTHER PLAYER'S TOWER FROM THE FAR END OF THE TABLE WITHOUT LETTING YOUR ELBOW PAST THE EDGE OF THE TABLE
• ANY TOWER BLOCKS THAT ARE KNOCKED OVER GO BACK INTO THE PILE
• BUILDING DEFENSIVELY BECOMES JUST AS IMPORTANT AS BUILDING UP!

RUKKA FOR KIDS: MAKE THE GAME MORE CHALLENGING BY MAKING PLAYERS PLACE THE BLOCKS USING WOODEN CHOPSTICKS (NOT INCLUDED)

SOLO RUKKA CHALLENGE: STACK ALL THE BLOCKS IN A SINGLE COLUMN WITHOUT LETTING IT FALL

RUKKA DRINKING GAME: THE PLAYER WHO KNOCKS DOWN THE TOWER DRINKS. 
                          (HERE ARE A FEW RULES YOU CAN ADD TO MAKE THE GAME MORE CHALLENGING)

• AT THE START OF EACH GAME, EVERY PLAYER POURS A SMALL AMOUNT OF THEIR DRINK INTO A COMMON CUP THAT THE LOSER HAS TO DRINK AT THE END OF THE ROUND - NASTY!
• PLAYERS MAY NOT PUT BLOCKS OF THE SAME COLOUR ON TOP OF ONE ANOTHER - ANY PLAYER WHO DOES SO MUST DRINK
• IF YOU THROW PASS - YOU GET TO MAKE UP A RULE THAT LASTS UNTIL THE TOWER COMES DOWN
• AFTER THE FIRST ROUND IS FINISHED AND EVERYONE HAS PLAYED ONCE, NO MORE BLOCKS MAY BE PLACED ON THE TABLE - THEY MAY ONLY BE PLACED ON TOP OF OTHER BLOCKS
• IF A PLAYER THROWS A PASS, THE NEXT PLAYER HAS TO KEEP ONE EYE CLOSED WHEN PLACING THE NEXT BLOCK
• IF THREE 3s ARE THROWN IN A ROW, EVERYONE HAS TO DRINK.
• PLAYERS ARE NOT ALLOWED TO SAY DRINK, DRANK OR DRUNK - ANY PLAYER WHO SAYS THESE WORDS HAS TO .... 'CONSUME'
• NO POINTING - ANYONE WHO POINTS AT ANOTHER PLAYER OR ANYTHING ELES HAS TO DRINK
• NO ACCEPTANCE - ANY PLAYER WHO ACCEPTS ANYTHING GIVEN TO THEM IN THEIR HAND (INCLUDING THE DICE) HAS TO DRINK.
