TOTAL FOR LOWER SECTION:
GRAND TOTAL:
Just like with the real YAHTZEE you get three rolls, but you will have to remember which dice you are keeping and change the number of dice accordingly.
So:
1st roll, roll 5 dice:1 - 6 - 4 - 2 - 3
I am keeping all but the 6, so I will change the number of dice to 1
2cd roll: I got a 2 so now i have 1 - 4 - 2 - 3 - 2
I am going to roll again to see if I can get a 5 for a LG straight
Roll 3: got another 2, so final dice roll is 1 -4 -2 -3 -2
I am going to use my SM STRAIGHT for this roll or I could use my 2's
