How do you play Dice Game 7
1. Introduction and needed items
This game is very close to an existing game with dice that I don't know the name of. The other, related game has only 6 dice, this version of it has 7 dice with a bit different scoring method. This game is meant more for solo play, though it can be played just as well with multiple players.
Needed items:
7 dice
1 piece of paper
1 pen/pencil
2. How to play
This game doesn't require any setup. Just a space to roll the dice.
First, take all 7 dice and roll them. Set aside any 1's or 5's, mostly 1's as they're worth more points. Once you set something to the side, you can either choose to take it, or roll the other dice again. If you decide to keep what you have before rolling again, you can take the score you got and reroll all dice. If you roll something and can't take any 1's or 5's or a special combo, you lose 500 points [solo play only].
For multiple players, you can choose to save your score at any moment. You get the chance to reshake all dice upon doing so plus a 2000-point bonus. The player with the highest final score wins or the player that reaches a certain score first wins.
For solo play, you must use up at least 4 of the 7 dice being either a 1 or a 5 or some special combo as listed in the scoring section below. However, if you can't use up at least 4 of the 7 dice, because you didn't have a 1, 5, or a combo, you lose 500 points.
3. Scoring
This game is mostly focused toward high scores. You score big in most cases. Here's the 39 ways to score:
- one or two 1's - 100 points each
- one or two 5's - 50 points each
- three 1's - 1000 points
- three 2's - 200 points [avoid taking these unless it's the only option.]
- three 3's - 300 points [equal to 3 separate 1's]
- three 4's - 400 points
- three 5's - 500 points
- three 6's - 600 points
- four 1's - 5000 points
- four 2's - 400 points [the same scoring ratio as getting three threes]
- four 3's - 900 points
- four 4's - 1600 points
- four 5's - 2500 points
- four 6's - 3600 points

- seven 2's - 3200 points [a really bad deal]
- seven 3's - 24300 points
- seven 4's - 102,400 points
- seven 5's - 312,500 points
- seven 6's - 777,600 points
- 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, any # - 2000 points
- full house with three 1's and two of any number - 12500 points
- full house with three 2's and two of any number - 3000 points
- full house with three 3's and two of any number - 4500 points
- full house with three 4's and two of any number - 6000 points
- full house with three 5's and two of any number - 7500 points
- full house with three 6's and two of any number - 9000 points
Yep, 1 3/4 million points is the maximum for just a single roll! However, the chances of getting it is practically null [a 1 in 279,936, more than twice as common as a Royal Flush in Poker]. Just avoid the 2's and you should score big. About 7 hours into play [combined from three sessions], I've scored 1.1 million points, 29/35 of the super jackpot. I had one case of getting five 1's, which was my biggest boost. Besides that, lots of scores less than 600 per round.
