Controls

You play by rolling and holding dice. Tap to roll all five, hold the ones you want, and reroll the rest, up to three rolls per turn. Then score in an open category.

The first-roll bonus is what makes this game special:

• Building combinations works over up to three rolls, scoring in categories like straights, full house, four of a kind, and the top prize, Generala, which is all five dice showing the same number.
• The first-roll premium means rolling a big combination on your opening throw, before any reroll, scores extra. A Generala served on the first roll is the game's dramatic, sometimes instant, winning moment.

You score one category per turn until the card is full, and the highest total wins.

A first-roll Generala can decide the game immediately. The computer sharpens across eight difficulty levels.

Tips

• Value your first roll. Because big combinations score extra when rolled cleanly on the opening throw, pay attention to what your first roll gives you before deciding to reroll, since a served combination is worth chasing.
• Don't reroll away a first-roll bonus. If your opening throw already completes a premium category, take the bonus rather than gambling it on a reroll for something marginally better.
• Chase Generala when the odds favor it. Four matching dice after your first roll means you are one die from the jackpot, so it is usually worth spending your rerolls to go for the top prize.
• Keep a flexible category in reserve. Holding back a catch-all box gives you somewhere to place a bad turn late in the game instead of wasting a valuable category.
• Balance boldness with safety. The first-roll bonus rewards going for big hands, but chasing them every turn can leave you empty-handed, so mix ambitious turns with reliable ones.
• Watch the opponent's total. If the computer is close to running away with it, taking bigger risks for premium scores makes sense, while a lead is best protected with steady, safe scoring.
