Rules

The game is played with 5 or 6 dice. Each turn consists of maximum 3 rolls. On the first roll you use all dice, while on other 2 rolls you can choose any amount of dice to roll. After 3rd roll, or if you wish earlier, you should select a combination to write down the score you have. After that you make another turn and so on untill the result table is filled.

Rows

• First 6 rows are simple combinations of 5 dice - sum of one, sum of two, three, etc.
• Next two rows are Max and Min, where the goal is to score maximum or minimum points from 5 rolled dice.
