How to play
To begin with, we decide how many points we’ll be playing for (e.g. 50 points)
Each player takes turns to roll all the dice.
If a die showing one dot is rolled, the player scores 5 points; if, in the same roll, another die shows two dots, the player scores 10 points. If a three was also rolled in the same throw, the player scores 15 points; if a four, 20 points; if a five, 25 points; and if a six, the player scores 30 points.
If not a single ‘1’ is rolled, the player receives no points.
The results are recorded on a piece of paper.
If three dice show one, all the points of the player who made that roll are cancelled.
If three dice show six, the player who rolled them chooses another player whose points will be cancelled.
The winner is the person who reaches the number of points agreed at the start.
