= Playing Greed
|
||||
|
||||
Greed is a dice game played among 2 or more players, using 5
|
||||
six-sided dice.
|
||||
|
||||
== Playing Greed
|
||||
|
||||
Each player takes a turn consisting of one or more rolls of the dice.
|
||||
On the first roll of the game, a player rolls all five dice which are
|
||||
scored according to the following:
|
||||
|
||||
Three 1's => 1000 points
|
||||
Three 6's => 600 points
|
||||
Three 5's => 500 points
|
||||
Three 4's => 400 points
|
||||
Three 3's => 300 points
|
||||
Three 2's => 200 points
|
||||
One 1 => 100 points
|
||||
One 5 => 50 points
|
||||
|
||||
A single die can only be counted once in each roll. For example,
|
||||
a "5" can only count as part of a triplet (contributing to the 500
|
||||
points) or as a single 50 points, but not both in the same roll.
|
||||
|
||||
Example Scoring
|
||||
|
||||
Throw Score
|
||||
--------- ------------------
|
||||
5 1 3 4 1 50 + 2 * 100 = 250
|
||||
1 1 1 3 1 1000 + 100 = 1100
|
||||
2 4 4 5 4 400 + 50 = 450
|
||||
|
||||
The dice not contributing to the score are called the non-scoring
|
||||
dice. "3" and "4" are non-scoring dice in the first example. "3" is
|
||||
a non-scoring die in the second, and "2" is a non-score die in the
|
||||
final example.
|
||||
|
||||
After a player rolls and the score is calculated, the scoring dice are
|
||||
removed and the player has the option of rolling again using only the
|
||||
non-scoring dice. If all of the thrown dice are scoring, then the
|
||||
player may roll all 5 dice in the next roll.
|
||||
|
||||
The player may continue to roll as long as each roll scores points. If
|
||||
a roll has zero points, then the player loses not only their turn, but
|
||||
also accumulated score for that turn. If a player decides to stop
|
||||
rolling before rolling a zero-point roll, then the accumulated points
|
||||
for the turn is added to his total score.
|
||||
|
||||
== Getting "In The Game"
|
||||
|
||||
Before a player is allowed to accumulate points, they must get at
|
||||
least 300 points in a single turn. Once they have achieved 300 points
|
||||
in a single turn, the points earned in that turn and each following
|
||||
turn will be counted toward their total score.
|
||||
|
||||
== End Game
|
||||
|
||||
Once a player reaches 3000 (or more) points, the game enters the final
|
||||
round where each of the other players gets one more turn. The winner
|
||||
is the player with the highest score after the final round.
