Dice Ledger

How to play

2 to 8 players take turns with five dice. Each player has a ledger of 14 boxes, and every turn fills one of them. Once every ledger is full, the highest total wins.

A turn

• Roll the five dice. You may roll again twice: before each roll, keep aside the dice you like, and only the others are rolled.
• Then write the dice into one empty box of your ledger, even if they score 0 there. You may write them after any roll.

The boxes

• Ones to Sixes: the dice showing that number, added up. Reach 63 points in these six boxes and you score 35 more.
• Two pairs (or four alike), Three alike, Four alike: all five dice added up.
• Full house, three alike and two alike: 25 points. Short run, four numbers in a row: 30 points. Long run, five in a row: 40 points.
• Jackpot, five alike: 50 points. Every further five alike, once your Jackpot box holds its 50 points, scores 100 more, whatever box you write it into.
• Anything: all five dice added up, whatever they show.
