a combination of cribbage scoring and typical dice mechanism:

Equipment: 5 dice

Game play:

there is 10 rounds and who gets more points after the 10th round is finished, is the winner. Draw is when players' score is the same. Player A (let's say white) rolls 4 dice. If the player likes what he/she sees (later about this), he/she rolls the fifth die and start counting points. If the player wants to improve what he/she sees, he/she takes one, two, three or all 4 dice and reroll them. Then he/she rolls the fifth die and start counting.

Counting:

if the player rolls his 4 dice only ones, he (as a bonus) may count pips on the fifth die EITHER on top of the die, OR at the bottom ... so, if, let's say, 5 is at the top, he may use it for counting, or he may use 2, which is exactly opposite to 5 at the bottom od die ... if he chooses to reroll his 4 dice he may use only top number of his 5th die for counting ... how to count ?

1. For each pair - 2 points

2. For the same three dice - 6 points

3. For the same four dice - 12 points

4. For all the same dice - 20 points

5. For a run (sequence) - as many points as many dice make the run (3 minimum)

6. For 15 points on any combination of dice (example follows)

Example: [6] [6] [5] [4] [1] = 12 points total for all the combinations (details below)

[4] [5] [6] = 3 points (first run or sequence )
[4] [5] [6] = 3 points (second run or sequence)

[4] [5] [6] = 2 points (first 15 points)
[4] [5] [6] = 2 points (second 15 points )

[6] [6]       = 2 points (pair of 6)

IMPORTANT: in cribbage, as you noticed, cards, or dice in our game may be counted several times
in different combinations. This is very important feature in this game.

Hope all the cribbage players and dice games fanatics will find a pleasure playing this game. Perfectly playable head to head.
