= Playing Greed
|

|

|
|
Greed is a dice game played among 2 or more players, using 5
|
||
|
|
six-sided dice.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
== Playing Greed
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Each player takes a turn consisting of one or more rolls of the dice.
|
||
|
|
On the first roll of the game, a player rolls all five dice which are
|
||
|
|
scored according to the following:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Three 1's => 1000 points
|
||
|
|
Three 6's => 600 points
|
||
|
|
Three 5's => 500 points
|
||
|
|
Three 4's => 400 points
|
||
|
|
Three 3's => 300 points
|
||
|
|
Three 2's => 200 points
|
||
|
|
One 1 => 100 points
|
||
|
|
One 5 => 50 points
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
A single die can only be counted once in each roll. For example,
|
||
|
|
a "5" can only count as part of a triplet (contributing to the 500
|
||
|
|
points) or as a single 50 points, but not both in the same roll.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Example Scoring
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Throw Score
|
||
|
|
--------- ------------------
|
||
|
|
5 1 3 4 1 50 + 2 * 100 = 250
|
||
|
|
1 1 1 3 1 1000 + 100 = 1100
|
||
|
|
2 4 4 5 4 400 + 50 = 450
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The dice not contributing to the score are called the non-scoring
|
||
|
|
dice. "3" and "4" are non-scoring dice in the first example. "3" is
|
||
|
|
a non-scoring die in the second, and "2" is a non-score die in the
|
||
|
|
final example.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
After a player rolls and the score is calculated, the scoring dice are
|
||
|
|
removed and the player has the option of rolling again using only the
|
||
|
|
non-scoring dice. If all of the thrown dice are scoring, then the
|
||
|
|
player may roll all 5 dice in the next roll.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The player may continue to roll as long as each roll scores points. If
|
||
|
|
a roll has zero points, then the player loses not only their turn, but
|
||
|
|
also accumulated score for that turn. If a player decides to stop
|
||
|
|
rolling before rolling a zero-point roll, then the accumulated points
|
||
|
|
for the turn is added to his total score.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
== Getting "In The Game"
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Before a player is allowed to accumulate points, they must get at
|
||
|
|
least 300 points in a single turn. Once they have achieved 300 points
|
||
|
|
in a single turn, the points earned in that turn and each following
|
||
|
|
turn will be counted toward their total score.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
== End Game
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Once a player reaches 3000 (or more) points, the game enters the final
|
||
|
|
round where each of the other players gets one more turn. The winner
|
||
|
|
is the player with the highest score after the final round.
