    It depends on what die face is showing. Three-of-a-kind is worth 100 times the value of one die, and each additional die doubles the total score.
  • Question
    If I roll four of a kind can I just keep three of them and roll the fourth one with the other to dice or do I have to keep all 4?

    You can reroll any dice that you want to get a better score. If you only want to keep a three-of-a-kind, you can set those dice aside.

    Three 3s are usually worth 300 points, and each additional die doubles that amount. Four 3s are worth 600, five 3s are worth 1,200, and six 3s are worth 2,400 total.
  • Question
    How much do dice that are not scoring dice count?
    Community Answer
    Five equals 50, one equals 100. Any other number must be a three of a kind. Three 3's = 300, three 4's = 400, etc.
  • Question
    What is five of a kind worth?
    Community Answer
    Four times the three of a kind point value. For example, rolling three 6's = 600 pts. Rolling four 6's is double the amount = 1200 pts. Thus, rolling five 6's is quadruple original = 2400 pts.
  • Question
    What are the points for four ones in the same roll?
    Community Answer
    Every additional number to a set doubles the value. In this case 3 ones is 1000, so 4 ones would be 2000 and 5 ones is 4000 (must be in the same roll). 6 ones of course is an instant win.
  • Question
    What if I rolled three 4's in the first roll then another 4 in a second roll. Is it still only 400?
    Community Answer
    Yes, because you set those dice aside. However, if you did not roll a scoring combination on the second roll, you would lose the 400 points.
  • Question
    Do you need a certain amount to get on the board?
    Community Answer
    You need at least 1,000 points to get on the board, and after that, the minimum is 350.
  • Question
    If I am on my last thing to get to 10,000 and I roll three ones and I keep to ones and roll again, is that legal?
    Community Answer
    Yes, you may keep any combination of dice you prefer. In most variations you do not have to get exactly 10,000 but you can go over to win.
  • Question
    How many points do I receive if I roll three ones (1)?
    Community Answer
    You could play it so that if you roll three of a kind regardless of whatever number, you get 1000 points.
  • Question
    What should we do if there is a tie?
    Community Answer
    You should do a roll off. Each person rolls one more turn until they bust out. The highest amount of points they rolled before busting out is the amount of points the other person have to beat in order to break the tie.
  • Question
    Can I use dice from a previous roll to get a straight?
    Community Answer
    No, straights can only be counted if done in one roll. It's the same as with 3, 4, 5, or 6 of a kind: they can only be counted if they occur in one roll.
  • Question
    What is the final score?
    Cuc69
    Community Answer
    Any score that is at least 10,000 and not beaten by another player. In other words, the final score is the highest score that was at least 10,000.
  • Question
    If, on a player's first roll, he rolls a three-of-a-kind and 4 of those dice are 1's, how do I score that?
    Cuc69
    Community Answer
    Example. You throw 1 1 1 1 3 4. You asked whether you count it as three-of-a-kind or as a four-of-a-kind. Well, in the first case, you make 1,000, and the other three dice are discarded. In the second case, you make 2,000 points. This may come into play when you need exactly 10,000 to win (a variation). But in most cases, you would take the 2,000.
  • Question
    How many rolls do I get in one turn?
    Community Answer
    As many before you roll a set with no scoring combination -- aka farkling, busting, crapping out.
  • Question
    Is there such thing as a small straight in this game?
    Community Answer
    In some rules, a straight of five dices is worth 500 points and a six-dice straight is 1000.
  • Question
    On first roll I took one and one the second row I rolled five ones, how much is that in points?
    Community Answer
    That would be 2,100 points because 4 1s is 2,000 and then the extra 1 which is 100.
  • Question
    If someone goes out with 10200, and another player gets 10000 exactly, does the second person win?
    Cuc69
    Community Answer
    No. According to the rules, the second player needs to beat the first player that has 10,000 or more. 10,000 for the next player is not enough.
  • Question
    How much is five ones on the first roll?
    Community Answer
    5 ones equals 4000. Three ones =1000, plus another one doubles it to 2000, and the 5th one quadruples it to 4000.
  • Question
    If I roll a one and a five, do I have to keep the five, or can I re-roll it and just keep the one?
    Community Answer
    You can re-roll it and keep the one if you want.
  • Question
    If I roll the dice after I take my score, do I lose everything?
    Community Answer
    If you rolled and didn't make any points with the roll, yes. You lose all points you made that round, meaning you pass the dice with your score unchanged from the previous round.
  • Question
    On my last roll, can I go over 10,000 to win?
    Community Answer
    Yes, in nearly every variation of the game unless you've specifically been told otherwise.
  • Question
    If on my first roll I roll 6 sixes or 6 ones, is it game over?
    Community Answer
    If the first throw is 6 ones, that automatically wins. If the first throw is 6 sixes, the game is not over; the number of points is 2 x 2 x 2 x 600 = 4,800.
  • Question
    If a person rolls a 1 and a 5 plus three 6s, can the person just keep the 1 and 5 and roll the other dice again?
    Cuc69
    Community Answer
    Yes. As long as you actually have scoring dice, you have the option to reroll. You can either first take some of the scoring dice, or roll all of them again.
  • Question
    What is rolling three of the same number and another three of the same number?
    Cynthia Frost
    Community Answer
    Say you get 3 fours, that would be 400 points. Then the other 3 are fives, that would be 500. Total score would be 900. Just add the two sets of numbers.
  • Question
    3 pairs are worth 1000. Do they have to be 3 different pairs, or can they be 4 of the same kind and a different pair?
    Community Answer
    You are free to use 4 of a kind as two pair if the score benefits you better, it's your choice.
  • Question

    Three pair is 1500 points. As for the two sets of three, you add the groups of three by the number times 100.
