IJkwerpen

IJkwerpen is an easy game with dices. It has one eight-sided dice (sides numbered with one to eight dots), the IJk, and some four-sided throwing-sticks (striped with one to four carvings), two for each player, all players a different colour.
First, the IJk has to be thrown. Then, each player tries to throw as many stripes with the sticks as there are dots on the dice. The first who throws an equal amount, wins the game. If the amount of stripes is not correct on the first throw, one or both sticks may be thrown again until a winner shows up.
Eleven games have to be played, minimum. Winner of the match is (s)he who has won most games, and has to have won at least three times more than any other player. If not, the game continues.
If the IJk shows four or less dots, the players can decide to throw only one stick (it is obvious that two sticks cannot throw one stripe). If two sticks are used to throw two, three or four, and this player wins, the victory counts double. In theory a double victory also counts when two sticks are used to throw a one.
