First steps, guides and the most common questions. Anything else by email.

Getting started

  1. Roll. Roll six dice and set aside at least one scoring die: a one, a five, three of a kind.
  2. Decide. Bank your points or roll the remaining dice. In the run, every reroll raises the multiplier.
  3. Avoid a Niete. A roll without a scoring die is a Niete, a bust. The turn’s points are lost.
