- = 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.
- == References
- Greed is described on Wikipedia at
- http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Greed_(dice_game), however the rules are
- a bit different from the rules given here.
