Artifact Overview

Bottoms Up is a simple dice game. Game pieces have dots on one side, and an image of a pig's bottom on the other. With the dot sides facing up, a player rolls the dice and turns over those pieces that total the number rolled. When no more pieces can be turned over his play ends. The player with the lowest remaining count wins.
