10-24-05 Five Nice Dice

My daughter and I often play a game that we invented. The game is called "Five Nice Dice".

We use a Yahtzee set to play this. But, really, all you need are five dice. But personally, I like the dice-rolling tray in Yahtzee. But it's not necessary. You just need five dice.

Rules:

1. Take turns rolling all of the dice.
2. Each time you roll you count how many ones you get.
3. If youu don't get a one you count your smallest numbered dice. If you get multiples, you count them all. For example, if, when I roll, I get:3,5, 4, 3,5. My score would be 6, . My score is 6 for a couple of reasons. First, I didn't get a one. Second, the smallest number I got was three. But, luckily, I got two of them.
4. You keep rolling until you all roll ten times.
5. Add your score. The person with the smallest number wins.
