**Players:**  
This version is designed for two players.

**Gameplay:**  
Players take turns rolling a pair of dice. On your turn, you can roll the dice as many times as you wish, accumulating points in a temporary "turn score."

**Scoring Your Rolls:**

- **No Ones Rolled:** If neither die shows a '1', their sum is added to your current turn score. You can then choose to:
  - **Roll Again:** Try to increase your turn score further.
  - **Hold:** Add your current turn score to your overall total score, and end your turn.
- **Doubles (Not Snake Eyes):** If you roll matching numbers on both dice (e.g., 2+2, 3+3, 4+4, 5+5, 6+6):
  - The sum of the dice is **doubled** and added to your current turn score.
  - Your turn continues, and you can choose to roll again or hold.
  - Example: Rolling two 5s (5+5=10) scores 20 points for that roll.
- **Snake Eyes (1+1):** If you roll a '1' on both dice:
  - You score **25 points** for your current turn.
  - Your turn continues, and you can choose to roll again or hold.
- **Rolling a Single '1' (but not Snake Eyes):** If only one of the dice shows a '1':
  - Your turn ends immediately.
  - You score **0 points** for that turn (any points accumulated during this turn are lost).
  - Possession of the dice passes to the next player.
  - (This happens on roughly 28% of rolls where at least one die is a '1' but it's not snake eyes).

**Holding:**  
If you choose to "Hold," all the points you've accumulated in your current turn score are added to your total game score. It then becomes the next player's turn.

**Winning the Game:**  
The first player to reach a total score of 100 points or more at the end of their turn wins the game.

**The "Press Your Luck" Element:**  
The core of Pig is deciding how far to push your luck. Each successful roll adds to your potential score for the turn, but rolling a single '1' means you lose all those hard-earned turn points!
