For this post we’ll be covering the two players game and show you how to play and different variations of the game.

First, the two players each roll a dice. The high dice goes first.

Next, the player rolls both dice and adds them together. He then pops that many bubbles in the first line.

This player has to push in 5 bubbles

Next, the second player does the same, pushing bubbles in her first line.

Players continue until someone pushes in the last bubble in that row. That player is the winner of the round and pushes in one of the three bubbles in the middle of the tray.

For the second round, the player who lost gets to go first. They play the same way trying to be the first to punch in all the bubbles it the second row of bubbles.

This player has won the first game and is pushing in bubbles on the second row

Other Ways to Play Pop It Dice Game

Last Pop

In this Pop It variation, players are aiming to not be the player who pushes in the last bubble. This can be played on the Pop It Chess board or on any pop it board.

You Pop It

In this Pop It Dice Game version, players play as in the original but instead of rolling to push in their bubbles, they are rolling the number of bubbles their opponent has to push in. This game is best played that the winner is the player who makes their opponent push in the last bubble.

Subtract

If you want to practice subtraction this Pop It dice variation is the one you want. Players roll both dice then subtract the small number from the big number and push in that many bubbles. This game is best played where the winner is the player who doesn’t push in the last bubble.

Multiply

Just like the subtraction variation, this one is great when you want to practice multiplication skills. This game will have players use all their rows in one game instead of just a row. To play, players roll the two dice and then multiply the numbers together. Next, they get to push in that many bubbles. This one is best played that the winner is the first player to push them all in.

You or Me

In this Pop It Dice game players get to decide who, them or their opponent gets to push in their bubbles. The tricky part is that you can only choose yourself two turns in a row, making it a risky decision. Players would be playing that the first player to push in all their bubbles on their side wins.

1 – 2 – 3

For this Pop It dice game, you don’t need any dice. Players each use the same line or half of the board. To play, players choose to push in one, or two, or three bubbles on their turn. They can’t push in the same amount every time. So if they pushed in just one on this turn, then on their next turn they would need to push in two or three. The player who has to push in the last bubble loses the round.

1

3
Push down any number of unpopped bubbles in a row on the next turn. Pop as many bubbles as you want in any row with unpopped bubbles. You can pop all of the bubbles in the row, or leave a few to push down later in the game.[3]
4
Leave rows with a few unpopped bubbles. As you take turns and pop more bubbles, you’ll have fewer rows to choose from later in the game. Keeping a few unpopped bubbles in a row gives you a few more options to choose from so you’re not forced to pop the last bubble on the board.[4]
5
Win the round if the other player pops the last bubble. After most of the bubbles are popped, count how many are left in each row on your turn. Try to pop bubbles so there’s only 1 left for your opponent. As soon as they push the last bubble down, they lose and you win![5]
- Example: There are 3 bubbles left in one row and 1 bubble left in another. If it’s your turn, you can press down all 3 bubbles in the first row so the other player has to pop the last one.
6
Beat the other player at 3 rounds to win the game. Keep track of who won the round and flip the Pop It board over so you’re able to press the bubbles down again. Play rounds until either you or your opponent can win 3 rounds.[6]
- If you only have time for a quick game, you can stop playing after 1 round.

1
Play Rock-Paper-Scissors to pick the first player. Whoever wins gets the first dice roll of the game. If you want a different way to pick the first player, roll the 2 dice that come with the game, and whoever gets the higher roll goes first.[7]
2
Roll the dice and pop that many bubbles on your side of the board. A Pop It Chess Board has 2 sets of bubbles separated by a small dice tray in between them. When it’s your turn, roll the 2 dice and add them together. Starting with the row closest to the edge, push down the number of bubbles equal to your dice roll.[8]
- You can play this game on a standard Pop It board if you don’t have the chess board. Just make sure both players have the same number of bubbles to pop.
3
Take turns rolling the dice and popping bubbles. Try to roll the highest numbers on the dice so you can pop more bubbles than the other player. If you roll a lower number, they could catch up to you.[9]
4
Win the game if you pop all of your bubbles first. If you get some lucky rolls and were able to push down all the bubbles before the other player, you win! If you want to play again, just flip the board over so you push the bubbles down again.
- Try playing until a player wins 3 games. You can keep score with the bubbles next to the dice tray.
