SAM5000
___________________________________
5000 is a dice game for 2 to 4 play-
ers. The object is to get 5000
points. If more than one player gets
5000 or better in a round then the
highest score wins.
Each player begins their turn with
5 dice. Once a dice is used for
scoring, it is no longer available.
If one manages to use all 5 dice,
one may continue with 5 new dice.
To accumulate points, the player
must first 'get on the board' by
getting 500 points (anything less
and the score remains at 0).
Whether a player is 'on the board'
or not, a bad roll will cancel any
points accumulated in that turn.
Here's how the scoring works:
Straight = 1500 points
Three ones = 1000 points
Three of a kind = 100x number
Ones (separately) = 100 points
Fives (separately) = 50 points
(A straight is either 1-2-3-4-5 or
2-3-4-5-6 and must be accomplished
in one roll. You cannot accumulate
a straight. The same holds true for
3 of a kind.)
Keyboard input is used at first to
get the names of the players;
all other input is via joysticks.
Press the fire button to roll dice.
Then, if the roll is good, position
the cursor to the dice you wish to
keep and press the fire button (you
may 'unkeep' a dice the same way).
When you are done selecting, point
the joystick to the right to indicate
that you are done.
