Dreidel game

The most popular Chanukkah game is played with a dreidel. Dreidels are readily available in the B'nai Emet gift shop and many stores. Each player starts with the same number (10-20) of pennies, nuts, raisins, etc., Each player puts one of these in the middle. Players take turns spinning the dreidel. Whether the player wins or loses depends on which face of the dreidel is up when it falls: · Nun means "nisht" or "nothing." The player does nothing. · Gimmel means "gantz" or "all." The player takes everything in the pot. · Heh means "halb" or "half." The player takes half of what is in the pot. · Shin means "shtel" or "put in." The player adds two objects to the pot.

When only one object or none is left in the pot, every player adds one.

When an odd number of objects is in the pot, the player rolling Heh takes half the total plus one.

When one person has won everything, the game is over.
