How to Play Dice Games
Dice games are fun and perfect to play when there is a nice group around. Here's more on how to play them.
- Before you start playing, fix a final score. For instance, all the players will play till a player reaches 400 or 800, or even 1,500 points.
- For this game, you require two dice and a score pad.
- One player will be selected to start the game.
- Throw both the dice, and at the same time keep a tally of your score.
- Until one player gets a 7, his turn will continue.
- Once you get a 7, pass on the dice to the other player, and write your score.
- Add the numbers which came on the dice after every roll. To explain it better, let's say you roll a 4 and 6. You will have a score of 10.
- Now after you get a 7, add the tally and note it down.
- If you get doubles in a roll, you would gain a double score.
- For example, if you roll a 5 and 5, that is 10, the points you get for that throw doubles to 20.
- Roll all the six dice at once.
- Now the catch is that, minimum 1 scoring die has to be taken aside with each roll, so that the player can continue his or her turn.
- When a player has 300 points in his kitty, he can choose to bank the points or carry on.
- If a player no more rolls a scoring dice, he or she is 'zilch', with a zero score. On the other hand, if a player uses all the six dice as scoring dice, he can roll all of them again to add more points.
- The next player will play if the previous player banks the points or scores zilch.
- Even after a player reaches 10,000 points, the others are permitted to attempt and get as close to that player as they can.
- At the end of the round, the player who has the most points is the winner.
- Each player rolls the dice in turn, and scores for a sequence of consecutive numbers, starting from 1.
- If 2 or more of the same number are rolled, only one will count.
- If a roll has three 1s, the score of that player is canceled, and the game starts all over.
- The first player to get to 100 points wins.
- The scoring system goes like, for 1 on the dice you get 5 points, 1 and 2, you get 10, and so on.
- A player gets to roll the dice thrice. The highest number on the first roll is put aside.
- Even if 2 or more dice have the highest number, only one is kept to the side.
- The other 2 dice are rolled once again, and again the highest-numbered dice is put aside.
- The final dice is then rolled, and finally, the total of the 3 is the player's total, and is counted as his score.
- A round is won by the person having the highest score.
- After a set number of rounds, the person winning the maximum number of rounds is the winner.
