Tripoley Dice is described on the front cover of the rulebook as a game for two or more, ages 8 and up. The game comes with 9 special dice, 1 dice cup, rules, and 1 pad of scoring sheets. The object is to win the most total points in each game, or series of games. A game of Tripoley Dice consists of three known games, or sections: Hearts, Poker, and Michigan Rummy. Instead of using cards, players roll dice to determine their "hands." The nine dice contain all 52 cards and two jokers. At the end of all three sections, the player with the highest total is the winner of a Tripoley Dice game.
