About the game
Each turn, you have approximately 30 seconds to roll 3 dice as many times as you can while grabbing cards that match the numbers rolled. The only catch - the timer is HIDDEN, so you'll have to count down every second in your head! If you don't call "Stop!" before time runs out, you lose your cards for the turn! Player with the most cards wins!
