Game Rules

Understanding the rules is key to a great experience. Here’s everything you need to know.

Official Game Rules
  • Each player receives a pre-filled 5×5 card with numbers randomly placed from 1 to 25.
  • At the start of the match, both players roll two dice. The player with the higher total goes first (reroll if tied).
  • Players take turns calling a number (1–25). When a number is called, it is crossed off on both cards wherever it appears.
  • A number can only be called once per game.
  • A line is a complete row, column, or diagonal.
  • The first player to complete 5 lines is declared the winner.
Tie-Break Rule
  • If both players already have 4 completed lines and each needs just one more number to reach 5 lines:
  • The player who calls that last number wins the match.
  • Even if the opponent’s board also reaches 5 lines as a result of that call, the caller wins, since their action finished first.
Stakes, Fees, and Payouts
  • Stakes are deducted from each player’s wallet upon joining a match.
  • The pot = 2 × stake.
  • A 7% platform fee is deducted from the pot.
  • The winner receives 93% of the pot, instantly credited to their in-app LTC wallet.
