Object: Get the highest total of points.
 
You start as Blue. Click the shaker to throw the dice. Five dice will appear. You now have two rounds where you can throw several dice back into the shaker (just click them) and throw them again. If you want to throw all five dice again, simply click the shaker. If you select less than five dice, click the shaker at the end to show that you are finished with your selection. You can pass the re-throwing round(s) altogether by hitting the PASS-button.
Then click an option on your score card to enter your points.
 

Scores:
		5 of a kind	: 50 points.
		Big Straight	: 40 points.
		Small Straight	: 30 points.
		Fullhouse	: 25 points.
		Choice	: Sum of all dice points.
		Fours (etc)	: Sum of all Fours.

The game ends when the score card is full. The winner is the player with the most points. (Please ignore the 'DRAW' message at the end).
 
Variant 2, 4 and 6 gives you an additional bonus of 35 points if you gathered at least three of each kind in the lower six entries.
Variants 3 and 4 are solitaire versions of variants 1 and 2.
Variants 5 and 6: Instead of re-throwing up to five dice twice, you can select five times a single cube for re-throwing. In the rounds you do not select a cube you have to hit the PASS button.
 
Five-Dice is a traditional dice game, played in many variations around the world and known by many names. Variants 5 and 6 are my own inventions.
