How to Play

Objective: To score the most points across thirteen scoring categories by rolling five dice.

Gameplay
1. Begin your turn by clicking the "Roll" button in the bottom right corner. The five dice will display random numbers.
2. Click on any die you wish to keep for your next roll. Held dice will be visually highlighted.
3. You have up to three rolls per turn. Click "Roll" again to roll only the unheld dice. Strategically hold dice to improve your score.
4. Once you've completed your three rolls (or are satisfied with your dice), you must select a scoring category from the scorecard. Click the "Select" button next to the category you wish to use. The score for that category will be automatically calculated and added to your total score. Once a category is used, it cannot be used again.
For details on each scorecard section please view the 'Scoring Categories below the game.'
