Like a poker card game, you also need game betting pieces. Traditionally we use gelt - chocolate coins wrapped in foil. But feel free to use anything you want, like chocolate kisses, m & m's, mini-marshmallows, pretzel sticks, really anything you want to use.
How to Play
1. Learn about the dreidel. In the U.S. a dreidel has one Hebrew letter on each side. × (Nun) - player gets none
× (Gimmel) - player gets everything in the pot
× (Hay) - player gets half the pot. If it is an odd number, take half plus one
ש (Shin) - player puts one in the pot.
these letters stand for the Hebrew phrase "Nes Gadol Haya Sham." This phrase means "A great miracle happened there [in Israel]."
2. Give each player an equal number of player pieces and decide who will go first.
3. Everyone puts one piece into the pot before each player has a turn. (ante up).
4. Spin the dreidel and get the outcome above - either doing nothing or taking pieces out or putting one in to the pot.
5. Each player takes a turn until one person wins the entire pot or you eat all the goodies.
