Dados is a dice game for 2-4 players. Each player gets 36 dice, which are rolled 4 at a time and placed on 18 tiles. Each turn, a player can choose to either roll the dice, placing one die on four separate tiles, or to pick up one contested tile where he/she the higher total pip count, earning points based on what is written on the bottom of the coaster (generally related to the combined value of the dice from all players). The game ends when both players run out of dice. There are also special coasters that do not earn points, but instead offer one-off powers, such as "put two dice on a single coaster".
