Slam Dice is a fast-paced dice game that can be played with two or more players. Here’s how to play:
- Each player starts with five dice.
- The first player rolls all five dice at once. The goal is to roll as many scoring combinations as possible in one roll.
- Scoring combinations include:
- A single 1 is worth 100 points
- A single 5 is worth 50 points
- Three of a kind of any number (except for 1’s) is worth the number on the dice multiplied by 100. For example, three 2’s are worth 200 points.
- After rolling, the player sets aside any dice that scored points and chooses whether to keep rolling the remaining dice or stop and score their points for that turn.
- If a player sets aside all five dice on their first roll, they can roll all five again and continue scoring points.
- If a player rolls and no dice score points, this is called a “slam” and they lose all their points for that turn.
- Play passes to the next player, who rolls all five dice and tries to score as many points as possible.
- The game ends when one player reaches a predetermined number of points, such as 500 or 1,000.
Overall, Slam Dice is a fun and fast-paced game that requires a bit of strategy and a lot of luck. It’s a great game to play with friends or family and can be easily adapted for different group sizes and skill levels.
