How to Play Number Knockout

A game consists of three rounds of play. In
each round, roll the dice and add. Match the
total of the dice using any combination of
number buttons. Keep rolling, adding, and
matching until you can no longer make any
combinations. Try to get a Knockout by using
all your numbers! The game begins with all
number buttons lit.

1. On your turn, press and add up the
two dice.

2 . Press a number button or any combination
of number buttons that add up to the
dice value rolled. These numbers are now
“knocked out” and cannot be used for the
remainder of the round.

Example:

(Roll) (Add Together)

Possible number combinations to “knock
out” (press) for 6:

6 2 & 4
1 & 5 1 & 2 & 3

• Press a number button once to select the

number & turn its light OFF.

• Press a number button a second time

(before pressing ENTER) to deselect it and
turn its light back ON.

3. Press ENTER (marked Player 1 or Player 2) to
check the selected number(s).

• If the numbers match the dice value, you

will hear a positive tone.

Player 1 begins.

4 + 2 = 6

• If the numbers do not match the dice value,

you will hear a negative tone and see the
incorrect number button (s) flash several
times and turn back ON. You will then hear
a 5-second countdown to submit a new

entry. If you run out of time or the numbers

you select still do not match the dice value,
this round is over for you.

4. If you are playing alone, press and try

to match the new dice value with the
remaining lit number buttons. If you are
playing a 2-player game, it is now the next
player’s turn.

5. Take turns rolling and entering matches
until the ROUND ends in one of the
following ways:

• The remaining numbers cannot be used to

• match the dice value

• All remaining numbers are successfully

• KNOCKED OUT

• A reentry is incorrect or the 5-second

• countdown time expires

If you are eliminated from the current

round in a 2-player game, you must wait
until your opponent completes the round.
You may play again in the next round.

6. All number buttons reset to ON after the
end of a round.

Scoring

The game tracks the sum of the unused (lit)
numbers at the end of each round. Your total
score equals the sum from each of the 3 rounds
of play.

Knockout

Use all of the numbers in a round and it’s a
“Knockout!” Hear the special announcement
and receive 0 points (the best possible score)
for that round!

Player Rank

In a Main Event game, your score is ranked

as follows :

+Addition
51 or more points = Amateur
26–50 points = Contender
25 or less points = Champion

-Subtraction
76 or more points = Amateur
36 –75 points = Contender
35 or less points = Champion

Top Scores

The top scores for both Main Event +Addition
and -Subtraction are saved by the computer.

When you get a top score, enter your initials
using the arrows to scroll and the SELECT
button. You may enter up to three characters.

Top scores are saved until the batteries are
removed from the game or the reset button
is pressed.

The Main Event -Subtraction

Follow the same basic rules for The Main Event
+

Addition except in Subtraction mode:

First, add the dice. Then, subtract the dice
value from 12 to find the number to match.

Example:

First:

2 + 2 = 4

Possible number combinations to “knock
out”(press) for 8:

8 3 & 5
1 & 7 1 & 3 & 4
2 & 6 1 & 2 & 5

Then:

12 – 4 = 8

Head to Head +Addition

Speed is the key to this game! Instead of taking
turns, both players compete at the same time
using the same roll of the dice.

1. Either player may press to begin.

2. When the dice stop rolling, race to add the
dice and enter a matching number
combination.

• If both players try to enter the same

number combination, only the first entry is

valid. If your entry is denied, try to enter a

completely different number combination
in order to make a match before the

5-second countdown expires. If a different

entry is unavailable, you are eliminated and
the round is over.

Example:

4 + 2 = 6

• If Player 1 enters 4 & 2 first on this example

roll, then Player 2 must enter one of the
other possible number combinations
(6 or 1 & 5 or 1 & 2 & 3) to continue play.

3. Play continues with new rolls of the dice
until a rounds ends when:

• One of the players fails to match the dice

• or has no combinations available

• Both of the players fail to match the dice

• or have no combinations available (tie)

• One of the players scores a KNOCKOUT

• by using all numbers in a round (the

• computer will only accept the first player

• to use all numbers)

Scoring

The player not eliminated from a round is
awarded 1 point.

If both players are eliminated, the round is a tie

and no points are awarded.

The winner of the game is determined in a
“best of three rounds” format.

A player winning the first two rounds
automatically wins the “best of three” and
there is no third round.

If players are tied after three rounds, play

continues with new rounds until the tie
is broken.

A player scoring a KNOCKOUT in any round

automatically wins the game.

Head to Head -Subtraction

Follow the same basic rules for Head to Head
+

Addition except in Subtraction mode:

Both players add the dice. Then, players

subtract the dice value from 12 to find the
number to match.

Example:

First:

5 + 3 = 8

Possible number combinations to “knock
out” (press) for 4:

4 1 & 3

The winner of the game is determined in the
same “best of three rounds” format of Head to
Head +Addition.

Then:

12 – 8 = 4
