Hazard

Hazard, a game with two dice. The easter calls 5, 6, 7, 8, or 9 for the main. He then throws. If he throws the number called, or if he throws 12 when 6 or 8 is the main, or 11 when 7 is the main, he nicks, and wins of his opponent (named the setter). If he throws 2, 3, 11, or 12 when 5 or 9 is the main, or 2, 3, or 11 when 6 or 8 is the main, or 2, 3, or 12 when 7 is the main, he loses. If he throws any other number—thus, when 7 is the main, if he throws 4, 5, 6, 8, 9, or 10—it is called his chance. He then continues to throw until either the main or the chance is thrown. If the main is first thrown, the setter wins; if the chance is first thrown, the easter wins.
