There’s another similar and simple game that uses five dice You try to score points by rolling either a 1 or a 5. 1s are worth 100 points and 5s are worth 50. If you roll no 1s or 5s your turn is over. If you do roll some you put them to the side and then decide if you want to roll again. If you choose to end your turn you can keep the points you rolled, but if you choose to roll again and you *dont* roll a 1 or 5 then your turn is over and you lose the points that you put off to the side. So if you roll 1, 2, 2, 4, and 6 you scored 100 points and can roll again. If you choose to roll again you’ll now be rolling only four dice since the 1 you rolled has been placed to the side. Now you roll 2, 5, 5, and 6. Those two 5s are worth 50 each. You now have 100+50+50 points to cash in. If you choose to roll again you’ll only be rolling two dice so your odds of rolling a 1 or 5 have gone down. If you risk it, roll again, and roll 3 and 4 you lose all those points you had earned. So you just set a score limit and keep track of everyone’s score as you go. Also, if you roll three-of-a-kind of any number you get bonus points equal to that number times 100. If you roll a straight (either 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5 OR 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6) it’s worth 1,000 points. And you can add or change rules however you like
Thanks for the vid. I hadn’t realized that you have to roll both remaining dice after getting a 6-5-4 vs keeping one and rolling the last one by itself. We play a version if the first roller gets 6-5-4 and let’s say a 6-5 in second roll, and stops then all the other players have to tie or beat 11 in only 2 rolls. Or even in 1 roll if the first players only uses 1 roll.
I have been playing this game for money every weekend for like 10 years. we added other ways to win. we have the full house, you have to re-ante to win you would have to have to get a 2 of a kind, and 3 of a kind. you can also win by getting 5 of a kind but the rest of the players dont get to roll.
Question: after you have ship, captain, crew and in your example, you had a 5 and 4 left- if you did want to try to get higher and have one or 2 shakes left, can you keep the 5, for example, and just shake the 4 for a higher dice?
Yes you re roll. You can choose to have the 2 people who tied re roll or the table of people playing can. Your choice on that. The person who tied is the one who rolls first
At the start of every new round every player puts in a nickel or whatever your playing with. Winner of the round gets the pot. We use quarters and if the game ends in a tie everyone puts in another quarter. We’ve had pots up to $40 with four people playing lol
How fun! I needed a simple game to incorporate into a dungeons and dragons session of all things and you just gave me the perfect one👍🏻
Heidi A awesome! 😁
Good idea

Yeah depending on how many players we have we will play the same way every once and awhile 👍🏻
I like to play this with the house rule that if the cargo is a double you can double its value for your score.

Tammie Stiles thanks! 😉
Spent many hours sitting at the bar playing this game with others and yes 4 or 5 others is the best to play with.
Yes I agree 👍🏻
My uncle taught me how to play this game over ten years ago. He told me that he had learned how to play this game when he was in the coast guard.
Byron Lee I learned it at a bar from a guy who was in the army and taught me and my parents how to play 😊
Knifed2Death nice!

Thanks Mike
Very good explaining .
Great game,
Question: after you have ship, captain, crew and in your example, you had a 5 and 4 left- if you did want to try to get higher and have one or 2 shakes left, can you keep the 5, for example, and just shake the 4 for a higher dice?
Kathy Hall no you have to re-roll both dice Thanks for your question 😀
Ok- great! thank you! Great explanation!
Okay, but why is the rum gone?
Anyone come here from Life is Strange 2?

Thank goodness for the update game ruleS
Does anyone knoe where i can get colored dice at?
angel Ortiz I found these at a thrift store 👍🏻😊
Thanks 👍
does it have to be in order?
minato paquet if you’re referring to the ship, captain, crew part yes. You have to get the six before the five and the five before the four
If I have just a ship and cap, and I lose my 3 rolls, do I have to start again at my turn or can I continue with ship and cap?
Yes you have to start over at your turn
@@madmike7861 thanks
what happens when 2 people is in a tie... dose those 2 people have to down redo.. and if so who rolls first...
Yes you re roll. You can choose to have the 2 people who tied re roll or the table of people playing can. Your choice on that. The person who tied is the one who rolls first
How do you play for money (let's say, nickels)?
At the start of every new round every player puts in a nickel or whatever your playing with. Winner of the round gets the pot. We use quarters and if the game ends in a tie everyone puts in another quarter. We’ve had pots up to $40 with four people playing lol
What happens if you shake 2 6s for yor score/
Erna Bushke you have th highest possible score and the only thing your opponents can do is tie you 👍🏻
I play with my friends
Thanks
How do we keep score?
Where did you get those particular dice?
Found em at a thrift store 😀
