Description

An exciting new game of skill and chance in which you attempt to outsmart the ever present tax collector.
—description from the rulebook

A Yahtzee-style game played with 5 dice, 4 regular d6 and 1 with "IRS" replacing the 1 pip. Like Yahtzee, the scorecard is divided into upper and lower sections. The upper must be completed before anything in the lower can be done.

The upper section sets your Base Salary. You choose which number you are going for (1's through 6's) and roll all five dice. Count the ones that match what you are going for. You can continue rolling the 5 dice and adding more of your chosen number (1-6), thereby increasing your salary. One of the dice has "IRS" in the 1 position. If it ever comes up your turn is over and you only get half of the income you've accrued for that number.

The lower section lets you add extra income via Stock Options, Profit Sharing, Capital Gains, and a Tax Refund. Those rolls are also negatively effected if IRS come up.

Once you add your Base Salary and extra income you get your Total Income. You then have to roll for an Audit. Depending on your roll you will subtract money leaving you with your Take Home Pay. Highest Take Home Pay wins.

You record your scores on a pad of 1040 Forms.

Comes in a 2pc dice cup that doubles as case. The cap reads "Don't Gamble With Your Life".
