Editing Hazard (game) (section)

==Rules==
Any number may play, but only one player&nbsp;&ndash; the '''caster'''&nbsp;&ndash; has the dice at any time.

In each round, the caster specifies a number between 5 and 9 inclusive: this is the '''main'''.<ref name=CG-74/>{{rp|168}} They then throw two dice.

* If they roll the main, they win ('''throwing in''' or '''nicking''').<ref name=CG-74/>{{rp|169}}
* If they roll a 2 or a 3, they lose ('''throwing out''' or '''outing''').<ref name=CG-74/>{{rp|169}}
* If they roll an 11 or 12, the result depends on the main:<ref name=CG-74/>{{rp|169}}
** with a main of 5 or 9, they throw out with both an 11 and a 12;
** with a main of 6 or 8, they throw out with an 11 but nick with a 12;
** with a main of 7, they nick with an 11 but throw out with a 12.
* If they neither nick nor throw out, the number thrown is called the '''chance'''.<ref name=CG-74/>{{rp|169}}<ref name=":0">{{Cite EB1911|wstitle=Hazard |volume=13 |page=117}}</ref> They throw the dice again:
** if they roll the chance, they win;
** if they roll the main, they '''lose''' (unlike on the first throw);
** if they roll neither, they keep throwing until they roll one or the other, winning with the chance and losing with the main.

The caster keeps their role until losing three times in succession.<ref>{{cite book |last=Steinmetz |first=Andrew |url=http://www.worldwideschool.org/library/books/socl/socialconcerns/TheGamingTable-2/chap10.html |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20000126090524/http://www.worldwideschool.org/library/books/socl/socialconcerns/TheGamingTable-2/chap10.html |archive-date=2000-01-26 |url-status=dead |title=The Gaming Table: Its Votaries and Victims, Vol. II}}</ref> After the third loss, they must pass the dice to the left, that player becoming the new caster.
