How To Play

1. Rolling
   • On each turn you may roll up to 3 times, although you may stop after the 1st or 2nd roll.
   • First roll: roll all 5 dice. Set aside any "keepers". You may stop now and score this roll or roll again.
   • Second roll: re-roll any or all dice you want. Set aside any "keepers". You do not need to declare which combination you're rolling for. You may stop now and score this roll or roll again.
   • Third and final roll: Re-roll any or all dice you want. After your third roll, you MUST fill in a box on the score card with a score or with a zero.
2. Scoring
   • When you are finished rolling, decide which box to fill in on the score card. There are 13 boxes on the score card. You MUST fill in a box on each turn. If you can't enter a score, you must enter a zero. Fill in each box only once, depending on your best scoring option.
   • The score card is divided into an upper section and a lower section. Scoring combinations are as follows:

     Upper Section	What to Score	Your goal in the upper section is to score a total of at least 63 points to earn a 35 point bonus.
     Aces (Ones)	Total of Aces only
     Twos	Total of Twos only
     Threes	Total of Threes only
     Fours	Total of Fours only
     Fives	Total of Fives only
     Sixes	Total of Sixes only
     Lower Section	What to Score
     3 of a Kind	Total of all 5 dice
     4 of a Kind	Total of all 5 dice
     Full House	25 points
     Small Straight	30 points
     Large Straight	40 points
     Yahtzee (5 of a Kind)	50 points
     Chance (junk hand)	Total of all 5 dice

   • Full House: The dice show two of one number and three of another number.
   • Small Straight: The dice show four numbers in sequence, 1 2 3 4, 2 3 4 5, or 3 4 5 6.
   • Large Straight: The dice show five numbers in sequence, 1 2 3 4 5, or 2 3 4 5 6.
   • Yahtzee: The dice show five of a kind. The first Yahtzee you enter in the Yahtzee box is worth 50 points. For each additional Yahtzee you roll, you earn a 100 point bonus, and you score the roll in another box according to the Joker Rules.
   • If you roll a Yahtzee and have already placed a zero in the Yahtzee box, you do NOT earn a Yahtzee bonus. However, you must fill in one of the 13 boxes using the Joker Rules.

   • If the box in the upper section is already filled in, score in the lower section as follows:

   • 4 of a Kind: total of all 5 dice
   • Full House: 25 points
   • Small Straight: 30 points

4. Ending the Game
