Controls

You play by rolling and holding dice. Tap to roll all five dice, then tap any dice you want to keep before rolling the rest again. You get up to three rolls per turn.

After your rolls, you commit to a category:

• Rolling and holding lets you build a combination over up to three rolls. You hold the dice you like and reroll the others to improve your hand.
• Scoring a category records your dice in one open box, from the number categories to combinations like three of a kind, full house, straights, and the five-of-a-kind jackpot. Each box is used only once.

If your dice don't fit any useful open category, you may have to score a zero somewhere, which is part of the strategy.

The game runs thirteen rounds until the card is full, and the highest total wins. The computer sharpens across eight levels.

Tips

• Chase the top-section bonus. Filling the number boxes generously earns a bonus for reaching a threshold, so aiming for at least three of each number early is often worth more than a marginal combination.
• Know when to take a zero. You cannot fill every category well, so deliberately scoring a zero in a hard box like the jackpot on a bad turn protects your valuable categories for better rolls.
• Hold toward the most likely combination. After your first roll, keep the dice that give you the best odds of completing a strong category, rather than hoping for a long-shot that rarely comes.
• Save flexible categories for later. Categories that accept almost any roll are useful safety nets, so holding them back gives you somewhere to dump a bad turn late in the game.
• Weigh the big combinations against the odds. The jackpot pays a lot but comes rarely, so chase it only when your first roll gives you a real head start, and otherwise take a reliable score.
• Plan your card, not just your roll. Look at which categories are still open before deciding where to score, since the best home for a roll depends on what you will still need in the rounds to come.
