Preparation

The game is typically played with a cup, five dice, and a score pad.
This app functions as a score card and the cup is completely optional but part of the fun.

How to play

The game consists out of 13 rounds, each round allows for a total of 3 rolls.
On the first roll you have to roll all the dice, on roll 2 and 3 you may choose which dice to re-roll.
Re-rolling is optional though, if you throw a nice score on your first or second roll you may omit the next rolls.

Once you select a score you may choose a row to apply it to.
You can do that by pressing the "Add new score button":

You can choose one of the following rows:

If you don't end up with a roll you can place anywhere you can always choose to discard one of the rows (marked in gray with a dash where the score would be).

Rolling a flush

When ever you roll five of the same dice, you can apply for a flush.
After rolling the first flush, you can apply for another one. However,
every consecutive flush requires you to discard an unused row. It will be worth 100 points though.

Undoing your last turn

In case of a mistake, you get the chance to undo your last commited round.
You can do that by pressing the "Undo button":

The winner is who ever has the hightest Final score.
