Gimme That!

Players race to be the first to write the number 100 by counting potatoes on a personal tally sheet, but the group shares a single pencil for marking totals. Play proceeds in a circle with players taking turns rolling a die that mostly triggers themed actions—group gestures, table drumming, or simultaneous bumps—while one specific result forces everyone to pass their sheets left so the pencil continues from a neighbor’s count. Another die face lets the roller grab the pencil and resume writing immediately, shifting who controls the tally. The game emphasizes quick addition, turn sequencing, and managing who holds the drawing instrument.
