Components: 6 regular dice + rulesheet
Scoring: 1's = 100 points, 5's = 50 points 3 x 1's on one roll = 1000 points 3 x other = 100 x face value (e.g. 3 x 6's = 600) any 3 pairs = 750 points a straight (1,2,3,4,5,6) on one roll = 1500 points 6 of a kind on one roll = Automatic Win
Players take turns to roll the dice. To score the first time, the player must score at least 500 points. Subsequent turns must score at least 350 points.
When a single die or a combination of dice with point value appear, set those aside and add up the point value for those dice. Keep rolling the remaining dice, removing 1 or more dice with point value per roll, adding to your score for that turn, until 350 or more points is scored and the player wishes to stop.
If no points are scored on a roll, the player's got Bupkis (nothing) and scores 0 for that turn.
First player to reach 5000 points wins the game.
