-
- GAME MENU
- To start a new game, click on the GAME Menu in the upper left-hand corner of
- the screen, and choose "START". To quit playing, choose "EXIT".
-
- PLAYING THE GAME
- You and your opponent take turns at rolling the dice. During each turn, you
- may roll from 1 to 3 times by clicking the "ROLL" button. At the end of
- each turn, you must post your score to one of the score categories or
- "scratch" a score.
-
- TURNS
- Your turn consists of from one to three rolls of the dice.
-
- For your first roll, all 5 dice are rolled automatically. After your first
- roll, you may elect to stop rolling and post your score, or you may select
- any number of dice to be rerolled by clicking on them, and roll again. Use
- the "SELECT ALL" button as a short-cut if you wish to reroll all 5 dice. If
- you change your mind about rerolling a die before you roll, you can click on
- it again to restore it.
-
- If you roll a second time, you may again elect to stop and post your score,
- or you may select any number of dice to be rerolled and roll a third time.
-
- After the third roll, you MUST post your score.
-
- POSTING SCORES
- To post a score, just click on the score box for the score desired. If you
- change your mind about a score posting, it's not too late. Just click on
- the one you really want, and the the score will be reposted. You must do
- this, however, BEFORE the next player's first roll.
-
- You may post your score to any unused category for which your final dice
- qualify, as follows:
-
- Score Category You Must Have Score

-
- SCRATCHING
- Instead of posting your score you may "scratch" any unused score. You have
- to do this if your score does not "fit" on any unused score caegory, but you
- may also do it voluntarily if you feel it's to your benefit to do so. To
- scratch, just click on a score for which your roll does not qualify.
-
- MULTIPLE YZ BONUSES
- You are awarded a 100 point bonus for second and subsequent YZ's if, and
- only if, the first YZ was scored as 50. If YZ was previously "scratched",
- no bonus is awarded.
-
- YZ AS A JOKER
- YZ may be used as a "joker" if (a) it cannot be scored as YZ (i.e. YZ has
- been either taken or "scratched"), and (b) it cannot be scored in the upper
- section (i.e. YZ is all 4's, and 4's have already been scored or scratched).
- Under these conditions, the YZ may be scored on any available category in
- the lower section, including the Full House, and Small or Large Straights.
- If all lower section categories have been scored, however, you must
- "scratch" a score in the upper section.
