Circle 36 is a game that was developed in 1991. After one player rolls two eight-sided dice, each player will pick one of the numbers to enter into the Main Circle. They also have the option to add or subtract the two numbers to obtain a different number they will use. The goal is to make each circle and row add up to 36. Complete instructions are available below. Several game examples are included in the instructions.
The dice will move to the next player until 25 rounds are completed and the Main Circle is filled in.
The game starts fast but slows down a bit after each subsequent round as the players figure out their best strategy.
You will need (2) eight-sided dice to play. You can buy some nice ones online. However, if you want to play right away, click the link below. One six-sided die will appear. Click on it and it will disappear. Next, click on the Purple 8 twice, then start rolling!

Instead of using paper each time a game is played, another option is to print a scoresheet on heavy cardstock and then laminate it. Use wet erase markers to write on the scoresheet. The sheet may be cleaned with a wet paper towel or tissue. If you do not have a laminator most office supply stores can do it for you.
Wet erase markers are available at office supply stores or online.
Perfect Game !
