However, even promising preliminary findings do not always yield positive results. We also have to eliminate the things that don't work as well.

For the first game, each player rolls one cube (not the Sun Die, please). The player who rolls the highest face goes first: "10," Stars (6), "5," Lightening Bolts (4), Pyramids (3), and Half Moons (2).
