The Goal

Have the highest scoring hand in a round

How to Play

Buy-in. A player can spend their gold to buy into a game and buy up to two additional rerolls. You do not need to buy these all at once.

With each reroll, players can choose to hold some dice (keepers) and reroll the rest, or roll all five dice again. Tag @noblegun at the beginning of each of your rolls, declaring any keepers first. Roll in this discord thread.

Scoring.

Three of a Kind: Sum of all five dice, +3 (minimum three dice of the same value).
Four of a Kind: Sum of all five dice, +4 (minimum four dice of the same value).
Full House: 25 points (three dice of one value and two dice of another).
Small Straight: 30 points (four consecutive dice, e.g., 1, 2, 3, 4).
Large Straight: 40 points (five consecutive dice, e.g., 1, 2, 3, 4, 5).
Yao Tze: 50 points (all five dice of the same value).
Chance: Sum of all five dice.

You can add your Proficiency Bonus to your score if you have Proficiency with Dice Sets

Posting.

Post your final set of rolls in this thread. List what kind of hand you have, the score, and how much GP you’ve spent.
