Needed

Three dice; Scoresheet

Objective

The object of the game is to score the most points. Players will take turns rolling the dice and will score points for different dice combinations.

Game Play

A turn consists of up to two dice rolls. After the first roll, the player will decide which dice to keep, if any, and will roll the dice not kept. After the second roll, the player must choose a box to score on the scoresheet.

Scoring

A player will score the total value of the specific numbers when going for boxes one through six. For example, a player that rolled two 2s could score four points for the 2s (2x2=4). Or, if a player only rolled one 3, could score three points for the 3s (3x1=3).
