Purpose: The player rolls the dice on his turn and arranges the hands of the specified combination. At the end of 10 rounds, the player with the highest score wins. Flow: At the beginning of his turn, the player presses the "roll" button and rolls 5 dice. After that, he pushes the dice that he does not roll again and locks. If you press the "roll" button again, the unlocked dice will be rolled again. You can roll the dice up to 3 times, the first time and the second time. Roll the dice three times or if you get a good hand in the middle, select a hand from the hand table and press the white square to record the score. The score of the hand once recorded cannot be erased, so choose the hand carefully. Also, you cannot pass without recording the score. Even if you don't have all the hands, you have to choose one of them and record it with 0 point. When the score is recorded, it will be the next player's turn. After 10 rounds, the game ends when all the squares on the hand table are filled. Finally, the player with the highest score wins. List of hands: General: A combination in which all 5 dice are equal. The score is 60 points. If you confirm the hand the first time, you will get 120 points. Four of a Kind: A combination of 4 dice equal. The score is 40 points.
