About Deer in the Headlights Game

A game where the object is to discard your entire hand of cards. Three dice are rolled on a players turn and the outcome of the dice determines what the player can discard (or pick-up) that turn. From the box: "Be the first to discard all of your cards and win the round, but watch out! A "Deer in the Headlights" roll will stall your progress. Roll a "Car" or "Running Deer" and dump cards on your opponents."
