RULES

Roll both dice and place their values into the 5x5 grid. Your objective is to create poker-style combinations (3-of-a-kind, 2-pair, etc) in each row and column.

Press "Roll dice" to begin a turn and click on the dice you want to place - it will turn green to let you know it's selected. Then click where you would like to put it in the grid - your dice will turn red to let you know it's been used. Once you have used both dice, press "Roll dice" for the next round.

On a single turn, you cannot place both dice values on the same row or column - both numbers must be placed in entirely separate rows and columns from each other. Spaces in the play-area will turn grey to let you know they're unavailable.

You do not have to place a dice value, if you do not want to.

After 13 rounds, each row and each column will score points, based upon the combinations of numbers it contains. For example, a sequence like 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, in any order, will score as a 5-straight. The point values are as follows:

  • 5 straight = 7pt
  • 4 straight = 5pt
  • 3 straight = 3pt
  • 5 of a kind = 6pt
  • 4 of a kind = 4pt
  • 3 of a kind = 3pt
  • Pair (+) = 1pt

Notice the “+” next to “Pair”. This means that pairs can be scored along with other sequences - ie, another pair, three of a kind, or 3-straight. The pair must be made of values not used in another combination on that row or column.

These ARE six-sided dice, right?

Yeah, I'm blaming the random number generator on this travesty

Assuming fair dice:

Probability of any one die face not showing up in 26 throws: ~5.24% (of a specific face, a sixth of that, so ~0.87%)

Probability of any two die faces not showing up in 16 throws: ~2.28% (of a specific pair of faces, a fifteenth of that, so ~0.15%)

...I mean, I'd LOVE it if 1 or 6 never showed up XD

(+1)

My high score is 48. Can you beat it?

(+2)

Took me far too long to work out the straights did not need to be consecutive, but got to 51.
