Advantages: great family fun, easy to play

Disadvantages: I never win

This is a simple dice game consisting of 5 dice, a dice cup and a score pad. You try to make specific hands or obtain the highest points possible during your turn. This is not as easy as it sounds. I've taken many zero's during my times playing this game. Complete instructions, very detailed are included. This game cost me about 13.00 on sale. It can be found at store's like Wal-Mart, K-Mart, Target, Toys-r-us and so on. Great family fun. Here are some of the details on how to play and what the objective is.

The first part is easy to understand. It is divided into six categories.
Aces, Twos, Threes, Fours, Fives, and Sixes.

Example: If I roll and have four five's but my "Four Of A Kind" category is already filled I would want to put that score under the "5" in the upper section, but if I've already filled that and no other acceptable option is open I have to take a zero in an open category.

The bottom half is like poker except on dice. You have to make 3 of a kind, 4 of a kind, a full house , a small straight of 4 (example 2,3,4,5), a large straight of 5 (example 1,2,3,4,5), A YAHTZEE--this is five of a kind(not that easy), and a chance(use this when you can't make any other combination.(I could use more than one of these.)

After rolling, the player must put the score or a zero in one of the thirteen categories on the score sheet. The game ends when all players have filled the score sheet.

The scores are totalled, and the player with the highest score wins the game.
