- You needTokens: chocolate coins, nuts or buttons (or just the app's count).
How to play
- Everyone starts with the same number of tokens and puts one in the pot.
- Spin in turn. Nun: nothing. Gimel: take the whole pot. Hei: take half (round up). Shin: put one in.
- When the pot is empty, everyone puts one in again. A player with no tokens is out; the last player in wins.
What the app does for you
The app keeps the game honest and moving: it hides what should be hidden, keeps the count and shows whose turn it is, so the family can just play.
Played on one device: a phone, tablet or a laptop on the TV. Nothing to join, and it works offline once the site has loaded.
