  This wooden dreidel brings back a sense of Holiday and tradition to any celebration. Perfect for traditional Hanukkah, Christmas, or other holiday celebrations use the dreidel game to teach children about the historical and cultural origins and significance of the popular children's game. It's an inclusive version of the classic dreidel! 
  
  The dreidel is engraved with inscriptions providing the Hebrew character, the phonetic Hebrew pronunciation, and a small English hint on the rule of play for that side. The dreidel is a two-part woodturning with laser engraved gameplay symbols and instructions. It is 1" wide and 2-1/2" high.
  
  Instructions:
  Players start with 10-20 playing pieces. Use coins, raisins, chocolates, coins, candies, or even pebbles.
  Each player adds a piece to the center pot and play begins.
  Each player spins the dreidel once during their turn. Depending on which player's side is facing up when it stops spinning, they give or take game pieces from the pot:
  a) If נ (nun) is facing up, the player does nothing.
  b) If ג (gimel) is facing up, the player gets everything in the pot.
  c) If ה (hey) is facing up, the player gets half of the pieces in the pot. (Rounded up if there are an odd number.)
  d) If ש (shin) is facing up, the player adds one or 3 pieces to the pot- this should be decided before the game begins.
  If a player runs out of pieces they are out. (Of course, you can always ask for a loan)
  
  Note- The engraving goes from right to left as you turn the dreidel to follow the convention of the Hebrew language. Each dreidel in your order comes with a small card listing the instructions described above.
