Hi Ariel,
Tom would get 100 for the 1, 400 for the 3 4s, and 100 for the 2 5s for a total of 600, and he would be required to roll again. (See d), e), and i).)
Jane with her three pairs has a roll worth 0 (zero) points, and blows it. Pairs don’t count for anything. You only get 1500 if you roll a perfect straight on a roll of six dice. (See f) and g).)

1 about scoring. If Tom rolls a 1, 3(4’s) & 2 (5’s), since they are all counters, would Tom get 1,500 & get to roll again?

Also if Jane rolls, 2 (3’s), 2 (4’s) & 2 (6’s) does Jane get to count that as 1500 points.

I don’t have a website.

Also he Jane rolls, 2 (3’s), 2 (4’s) & 2 (6’s) does Jane get to count that as 1500 points.

Hi! I just found the rules to this game and the dice in my basement. So excited to start playing again.
I just have a question, how does someone BLOW IT on a round? Isn’t there always a way to get points when you roll the dice? I noticed in your explanation, if someone only rolled 150 points, they’d just take the loss.
Or can you not go over a certain amount of points? Sorry, I’m just not getting it. Thank you in advance!

Thanks,

Shelly

For example, Dick, Jane, and Spot are playing a short game against Tom, Harry, and Stanley. DJS agree that Jane will play last, as she is a conservative gambler and Dick is notoriously bad at dice. THS decide that Stanley will go last, because he has good luck and few inhibitions and Harry is “unsteady” this evening. Play goes as follows:
Round 1: Dick rolls 450 points, passes to Spot. Spot rolls 300 points, passes to Jane. Jane rolls 700 points and decides that’s enough. Tom rolls 800 points, passes to Harry. Harry blows it (having decided that 250 on his first roll wasn’t good enough), passes to Stanley. Stanley rolls 400 points and decides that’s enough. Score: 1450 v. 400
Round 2: Dick blows it (zilch on the first roll), passes to Spot. Spot rolls 250, passes to Jane. Jane rolls 300 and decides that’s enough. Tom rolls 400, passes to Harry. Harry rolls 1250 in one roll (five ones and a five, requiring another turn), then rolls 150 and passes to Stanley.. Stanley rolls 550 and decides that’s enough. Score: 2000 v. 2750
Round 3: Dick rolls 200, passes to Spot. Spot rolls 750 (three individual fives, then three sixes, requiring another turn), then blows it and passes to Jane. Jane rolls 650 and decides that’s enough. Tom rolls 500, passes to Harry. Harry blows it (after initially scoring 400), passes to Stanley.. Stanley rolls 550 and decides that’s enough. Score: 2650 v. 3300
(Brief intermission, wherein drinks and snacks are replenished, and Tom and Harry trade insults to the amusement of Spot)
Round 4: Dick blows it (unhappy with 150), passes to Spot. Spot rolls 850, passes to Jane. Jane rolls 400 and decides that’s enough. Tom rolls 500, passes to Harry. Harry blows it (first accumulating 1000 points), passes to Stanley. Stanley rolls 700 in one roll (three fives and three twos, requiring another turn), then rolls 250 and decides that’s enough. Score: 3900 v. 4250
(Even briefer intermission, during which DJS agree to let Tom and Harry trade positions in the line-up to prevent bloodshed)
Round 5: Dick rolls 250, passes to Spot. Spot rolls 500, passes to Jane. Jane rolls 1500 (1-2-3-4-5-6, requiring another turn), then rolls 50 and decides that’s enough. (Since DJS passed the 5000 mark, this is now the official last round. THS have this one last round to beat the score of 6200.) Harry rolls 1600 (three ones, then three sixes, requiring another turn), then rolls 250 and passes to Tom. Tom blows it (after picking up 350 initial points), passes to Stanley. Name-calling becomes fierce. Stanley rolls 800 (three threes, then three fives, requiring another turn), then 1150 (three ones, then three individual fives, requiring another turn), and then blows it. Score: 6200 v. 4250
With the personal attacks among team THS move from verbal to physical, Dick offers to put on Boondock Saints. Spot refreshes drinks, and Jane tracks down blindfolds for the sensibly sensitive viewers.
