How to Use This Page
Set the number of players (1–8) and optional names, then press Start Game.
On your turn, press Roll (up to 3 times); tap a die to hold it so it won't reroll.
Once you've rolled at least once, tap a highlighted cell in your column to score that category — the number shown is exactly what you'd get for picking it right now.
Once every player has filled every category, the game ends and the winner is shown.
Full Rules
Each turn, roll the five dice up to three times total, keeping any dice you like between rolls — you don't have to use all three.
After rolling at least once, choose one open category to score for that turn.
Ones through Sixes: scores the sum of just the dice matching that number (e.g. three 4s in the Fours box scores 12).
If your six Upper Section boxes (Ones–Sixes) add up to 63 or more, you get a 35-point bonus.
3 of a Kind / 4 of a Kind: if at least three (or four) dice match, scores the sum of all five dice; otherwise 0.
Full House: scores 25 for three of one number and two of another.
Small Straight: scores 30 for four sequential numbers (e.g. 2-3-4-5).
Large Straight: scores 40 for five sequential numbers (1-5 or 2-6).
Yacht: scores 50 for five of a kind.
Chance: always scores the sum of all five dice, whatever you rolled.
Yacht Bonus: once your Yacht box shows 50, every additional five-of-a-kind you roll earns a 100-point bonus chip, on top of whatever category you score that turn.
Joker rule: once your Yacht box has been filled at all (scored 50 or forced to 0), a later five-of-a-kind lets Full House / Small Straight / Large Straight score their fixed value (25 / 30 / 40) automatically — but only if the Upper Section box matching the number you rolled is already filled. If it's still open, those three categories score 0 for that roll instead, so scoring the matching Upper Section box (or Chance) is usually the better move.
The game ends once every player has filled every category; whoever has the highest total wins (ties are possible).
In an online room, the host can press End Game any time to stop early and score whatever's filled in so far.
