METHOD OF PLAY

In this game a 3 counts as zero, all other numbers count at face value. A player’s score is the total pips showing on the dice when he finishes his turn, excluding threes.
Players roll in succession as follows:

  1. All five dice are rolled, and the player must keep at least one but may keep more at his discretion.
    1. He can stop on at any time, keeping all the dice, if he so wishes.
  2. Keep rolling the remaining dice until all the dice are kept.
  3. A player is out if his score goes above that of a preceding player.
