Directions for the Dice Game Snap

Directions

• 1

  Roll the dice. Player one can roll all six dice at once or roll them individually until all six have been rolled.

• 2

  Write down on paper how many points each die has earned.

• 3

  Add the score. Ones and fives are valuable by themselves. Ones are worth 100 points each, and fives are worth 50 points each. Numbers 2, 3, 4 and 6 are not worth any points unless there are three dice that have the same number, which is considered three of a kind. Three of a kind is scored by multiplying the number on the dice by 100. For example, three twos equals 200. Since ones are valuable, three ones are worth 1,000 points. Fives are scored the same way as numbers 2, 3, 4 and 6 but equal 500 points. Three pairs is another strong roll, worth 1,500 points. The maximum number of points possible with one turn is 3,000 points with a 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6.
