1. Each player throws all six dice. The player with the highest overall score goes first.

2. Each player takes it in turn to throw all six dice. They look at the dice and rearrange them to see if any of the following patterns occur, in order to score points.

PatternScore
1, 2 (H, E)5 points
1, 2, 3 (H, E, A)10 points
1, 2, 3, 4 (H, E, A, R)15 points
1, 2, 3, 4, 5 (H, E, A, R, T)20 points
1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 (H, E, A, R, T, S)25 points

Note: Any doubles or triples cancel the rest of the pattern. For example; throwing 1, 2, 3, 3, 4, 6 would only score 10 points for the 1, 2, 3. However, if a player throws a triple '1' (for example; 1, 1, 1, 2, 5), their whole score is wiped out and they have to start again from zero points.

3. Keep a record of the total point score as the game progresses. The first player to reach 100 points wins the game.
