At the start of the round, all the flaps are raised, so that the numbers can be read clearly. After a throw, the player may lower one or more flaps if the sum of the flaps equals the sum of the 2 dice. For example, if the player rolls 4 and 2, he can lower either the number 6, or 5 and 1, or 4 and 2, or even 3, 2 and 1.
As the game progresses, the possibility of closing flaps diminishes. So you have to be strategic to reverse the right flaps. It's a fast-paced game that can be played by 2 to 4 players or more, and guarantees fun for the whole family.
