Game Rules

🧩 Objective

Score points by forming combinations with the dice on your turn. The goal is to be the first player to reach 50 points.

Average playtime: 10–20 minutes

🔄 How to Play a Turn

1. Roll all 5 dice.
2. You may then make up to 2 re-rolls.
3. After each roll, you may keep any dice and re-roll the rest.
4. You may re-roll any number of dice each time.

Red Number Bonus:
Each red number rolled grants +1 additional re-roll for that turn.
These bonuses are cumulative.

Important:
Each turn, a player scores one combination only—the highest-scoring combination they can form.

🧮 Scoring Combinations

Matching Numbers

• 3 of a Kind – 3 dice show the same number → 3 points
• 4 of a Kind – 4 dice show the same number → 6 points
• Standard 5 of a Kind (numbers 1–4. e.g., 2-2-2-2-2) → 12 points
• Power 5 (5 of a kind using 5s or 6s. e.g., 5-5-5-5-5) → 15 points

Sequences

• Small Straight (3 sequential numbers, e.g., 2–3–4) → 3 points
• Medium Straight (4 sequential numbers, e.g., 1–2–3–4) → 6 points
• Large Straight (5 sequential numbers, e.g., 2–3–4–5–6) → 12 points

Full House

• 3 dice of one number + 2 dice of another(e.g., 3-3-6-6-6) → 12 points

No Combination

• If a player cannot form any valid combination, they score 0 points for that turn.

👑 Special Dice Features

Queen (Wild Card)

• Can represent any number (1–6)
• Each Queen adds +2 bonus points
• Example: 3 Queens = +6 points

Crown (Power Wild Card)

• Can represent any number (1–6)
• 1 Crown → +6 points
• 2 Crowns → +20 points

Example:
Rolling 3 sixes + 2 Crowns:
15 points (Power 5) + 20 points (Crowns) = 35 points

Crowns appear only on the red dice, helping guide strategic decisions.

Red Numbers

• Function as normal numbers
• Grant +1 additional re-roll each

⚠️ Wild Card Rule

Wild cards (Queens and Crowns) must be assigned a value when scoring.

👥 Players & Rounds

• For 2 to 5 players
• The game is played in rounds
• A round ends after all players have taken one turn

🏆 Winning the Game

• The first player to reach 50 points wins
• If multiple players reach 50+ points in the same round, the highest score wins
• If there is a tie, tied players play a tie-break round

📝 Scorekeeping

Track scores using a simple table:
Player names across the top (horizontal)
Round numbers down the side (vertical)

🎓 Example Turn

A player rolls: 2, 4, 5, Queen, Crown

They assign:
Queen → 3
Crown → 6

This creates a Large Straight (2–3–4–5–6)

Score:
12 (Large Straight) + 2 (Queen) + 6 (Crown) = 20 points
