Instructions

The basic game involves rolling six dice. Select one set of dice that score and then press on by rolling the remaining dice or take the score that you currently have. If you roll any number of dice an nothing scores, you zilch, score 0 points and pass the dice to the next player.

If you score points, you pass the dice as-is to the next player. That player may start over by rolling all 6 dice, or they may resume where you left off and start with your score, but they must roll the remaining dice at least once and not zilch.

In all varients a single '1' or '5' scores along with three of a kind. Other ways of scoring (straight, all pairs, 6-die zilch, full house) and the number of points each set is worth can be customized.

You can turn on simultaneous mode by setting the number of games greater than one. This can be confusing for beginners but the computer runs the number of simultaneous games selected and passes the dice and score card for each game around to the correct player. Each game will have a different player order.
