This is a compeditive physical-contact dice game originated by the Maw's Forest Halflings. The game is know in Andorith proper as Expreto.
Depending on the situation and environment, the game may be played honorably with stakes as important as that of a duel. When players have imbibed alcohol or are in a tavern environment, it's usually treated as a casual gambling game. Traditionally the first player initially rolls one die on the gaming surface, but regional variation may dictate two or three dice, and an additional dice is added each round. The first player then attempts to scoop up all dice while their opponent tries to block them by grasping their dice hand in an arm-wrestling-like handhold. Different obstacles may be introduced during this part of the round. For instance, the first or second player may be allowed to use both hands, one on each side of their opponent's hand. Or a glass of water may be placed under their clasped hands; the glass cannot be tipped and no dice may fall into it. With each round, the number of dice to be collected increases.
Rattlejag dice may be made from any material. However traditionally in the Maw the dice are craved on X seed pods, which are already close to the shape of a rectangular prism and have a rattling sound when shaken. While the game can be played on any surface, specialized rattlejab tables are preferred by serious players and during tournaments.
In Dungeon World, the process of this game is represented by three rolls, all of which must use different moves.
