Quick Guide to Playing Dreidel
Dreidel is usually played with Hanukkah gelt, coins, candy or anything else that can be divvied up evenly between the players. Each player puts one piece in the middle, and then the first player spins. Each side of the dreidel offers instructions on what the player should do. When a player runs out of gelt, they exit the game. The game is played until one player holds all of the gelt.MileChai: Dreidel Rules
