Steps
-
Play Rock-Paper-Scissors to see who goes first. You can play one game of Rock-Paper-Scissors or try to win the best 2 out of 3. If you want to get right to the game, just pick a random person to start the game. [1] X Research source -

Push down any number of unpopped bubbles in a row on the next turn. Pop as many bubbles as you want in any row with unpopped bubbles. You can pop all of the bubbles in the row, or leave a few to push down later in the game. [3] X Research source -
Leave rows with a few unpopped bubbles. As you take turns and pop more bubbles, you’ll have fewer rows to choose from later in the game. Keeping a few unpopped bubbles in a row gives you a few more options to choose from so you’re not forced to pop the last bubble on the board. [4] X Research source -
Win the round if the other player pops the last bubble. After most of the bubbles are popped, count how many are left in each row on your turn. Try to pop bubbles so there’s only 1 left for your opponent. As soon as they push the last bubble down, they lose and you win! [5] X Research source- Example: There are 3 bubbles left in one row and 1 bubble left in another. If it’s your turn, you can press down all 3 bubbles in the first row so the other player has to pop the last one.
-
Beat the other player at 3 rounds to win the game. Keep track of who won the round and flip the Pop It board over so you’re able to press the bubbles down again. Play rounds until either you or your opponent can win 3 rounds. [6] X Research source- If you only have time for a quick game, you can stop playing after 1 round.

Play Rock-Paper-Scissors to pick the first player. Whoever wins gets the first dice roll of the game. If you want a different way to pick the first player, roll the 2 dice that come with the game, and whoever gets the higher roll goes first. [7] X Research source -
Roll the dice and pop that many bubbles on your side of the board. A Pop It Chess Board has 2 sets of bubbles separated by a small dice tray in between them. When it’s your turn, roll the 2 dice and add them together. Starting with the row closest to the edge, push down the number of bubbles equal to your dice roll. [8] X Research source- You can play this game on a standard Pop It board if you don’t have the chess board. Just make sure both players have the same number of bubbles to pop.
-
Take turns rolling the dice and popping bubbles. Try to roll the highest numbers on the dice so you can pop more bubbles than the other player. If you roll a lower number, they could catch up to you. [9] X Research source -
Win the game if you pop all of your bubbles first. If you get some lucky rolls and were able to push down all the bubbles before the other player, you win! If you want to play again, just flip the board over so you push the bubbles down again.- Try playing until a player wins 3 games. You can keep score with the bubbles next to the dice tray.
