Most people have played a certain dice-game before so it shouldnt be too hard working out just what is required of you! The aim (as with most games) is to score as many points as possible by getting different `hands` with the die. On every turn you have 3 goes to try and make the best hand you can. After the first go you can roll some or all of the dice again, if you feel you can get a better hand. This is similar to 5 card poker, you are trying for straights and pairs/4 of a kind/3 of a kind/5 of a kind etc etc. Just click on the die to roll again and click on roll. After your third go, you choose which score you will get as the combinations are shown on the left. Eg if you get the following hand of die.. 4 4 4 5 6 - this can be a pair of 4's (worth 8) three of a kind (worth 12 - 3x4) Fours (worth 12) What you must decide is which option to go for! You can only have 1 four of a kind, 1 hi-straight (6,5,4,3,2), 1 lo-straight (5,4,3,2,1) they neednt be in order, 1 five of a kind, 4 of a kind, 3 of a kind, pair, 2pairs. You should be able to work this out by looking on the left hand side! Note: there is a section called YAHZEE this is five fives and must be got to end the game... Chance is any hand, if you get stuck or if you have a high hand (such as 4 6`s etc) and 6`s or 4 of a kind has gone. Play keeps going until you have `used` every slot on the card. After each player (1-4) has filled up the card, the scores are compared. Enjoy it, strange at first but very playable once you get into the swing of things!
