Only two can play "Drafts" at a time. If two good players get together it takes an hour and sometimes more to play it. There is a square board about eighteen inches long and it is covered with small coloured squares. Ther are six small dice for each person. Each player moves his dice from one square to another to see who will bog the other. They play so many points, and the one who bogs the other wins one point. They play this way until they have all the squares covered over.
