PANDEMONIUMTM A game where fast paced action is coupled with a constant banter by all players resulting in a time warp where its hard to tell which rolls by more rapidly, the dice or the time. Object of the game: Players attempt to form color combinations such as, three of a kind, rainbow, (five different colors), full house, four of a kind, five of a kind or pandemonium. (The players five dice match the display set of dice). Method of Play: Player A rolls a set of five dice. The resulting combination of colors is termed pandemonium. These dice are placed for display on top of the clear pandemonium box. All players then begin rolling and rerolling their own five dice into their corner of the pandemonium box. Each player should ask themselves three questions, each time they roll their five dice: 1. Do I have pandemonium? 2. Do I have any winning combination for chips? 3. Do I have at least three colors matching pandemonium so that I can reroll those non matching dice? The faster you can recognize these things the more rolls you will make and the more chances you will have to win. Once play and banter has begun it continues until someone attains twenty-five game points to win! Points of Play: When on the come out roll of the dice any winning color combination occurs, that player must announce that occurrence and take the proper number of chips from the pot. (Come out roll-when a player rolls all five dice) The Banter: Hold it, three of a kind, collecting one here. (one chip) Hold it, rainbow, collecting two here. (two chips) Hold it, full house, collecting three here. (three chips) Hold it, four of a kind, collecting seven here. (seven chips) Hold it, five of a kind, collecting twelve here. (twelve chips) Free rolls: If a player matches at least three of the five object set on their come out roll they may roll again those one or two non matching dice. If they roll two and match one they may roll the one not matching for a final attempt at pandemonium. In addition, if a player matches three, and with their free throw rolls a pair (of any color) they may reroll their free throw. The Banter: Three matching rolling two here. Four matching rolling one here. Pair, rolling again here. pandemonium ! ! ! This stops play momentarily. Chips are totaled and game points are awarded. Chips should be returned to the pot after each pandemonium. A new pandemonium combination should be established and play resumed.

The creative process for PANDEMONIUM the conceptual thought and inspiration. PANDEMONIUM developed after one of three games meetings that I had with Ronald O. Weingartner at Milton Bradley Co. the world’s largest game company, arranged by my agent at the time James Montalto.  The main point that I took from his very conscientious, deliberate and all encompassing review and analysis of GERONIMO (he would conduct such a review after each games presentation, in turn) was that in a game of this type he feels it is best if all players are actively engaged all the time. I really appreciated this direction and my solution was the game PANDEMONIUM which is in a large part GERONIMO in a state of directed chaos where all players are rolling, talking and collecting as many chips as they can as fast as they can, all at the same time. He was clear that he enjoyed GERONIMO’s play but that I needed to consider his point. I like both styles, GERONIMO and PANDEMONIUM.                                                                                   (artists notes)
