Bad math.
Good deal? Obviously not.
So why does throwing a natural six-of-a-kind feel so disappointing, frustrating, illogical, and unfair? Because the arithmetic is just as senseless as getting 50 bucks for your first hour of work, then the same amount for the next 1000 hours of labor, for a total of 100 dollars.
For example, the score for six fives thrown at the same time is neither 2500(two sets of three), nor 1500(three pairs), nor 4000 (three fives-500-doubled, then again, then again).
So, what does the game’s second-rarest* scenario score in this case? It’s 2000.
This is a computation perfect for any accountant with a chastisement kink and a fetish for getting their clients audited.
Please, developers, review this. The rules of this game are entirely made up, and you have the power…maybe the responsibility to make them make sense. It’s no one else’s fault. More effort is needed. At a minimum, consider letting users choose more scoring options.
*The rarest possible situation is when a player throws only one usable five, and no other scoring dice, for each successive roll until all are used.
