Game Instructions & Description
How to Play Five Dice
Five Dice lets you play the classic five dice game online for free, against the computer, on your own or with a friend, and it was made by the CrazyArcade team. Each turn you roll five dice up to three times. Between rolls you can click any dice to hold them and roll the rest again. Then you write a score in one empty box on your score card. Every box is used once, so a game lasts 13 turns per player. The upper section has Ones through Sixes, which score the total of the matching dice. Upper boxes adding up to 63 or more earn a 35 point bonus. The lower section has 3 of a Kind and 4 of a Kind, which score the sum of all dice, Full House for 25, Small Straight (four in a row) for 30, Large Straight (five in a row) for 40, 5 of a Kind for 50 and Chance, which scores any roll as its sum. Another five of a kind after scoring 50 earns 100 bonus points and must go in the matching upper box if it is empty. The card shows what each open box would score. Solo mode is about beating your best total, which is saved in your browser. In vs Computer you take turns with a computer player that looks ahead over its remaining rolls to choose which dice to keep and which box to fill. 2 Players mode is for two people sharing one device.

Pro Tips to Win
- Aim for at least three of each number in the upper section. Three of every face adds up to exactly 63, which earns the 35 point bonus.
- Keep Chance open for a bad turn late in the game. It takes any roll, so it saves you from writing a zero somewhere else.
- If a turn goes wrong, putting a zero in Ones or 5 of a Kind usually costs less than wasting a box like Full House or Large Straight.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What happens if I roll five of a kind twice?
A: If your 5 of a Kind box already holds 50, you get a 100 point bonus. The roll then has to go in the matching upper box if it is empty. If that box is used, you can score it as a Full House, Small Straight or Large Straight at full value, or as 3 of a Kind, 4 of a Kind or Chance.
Q: Is my best score saved?
A: Yes. Your best total is saved in your browser and shown in the panel. It updates from solo games, from your score against the computer, and from the higher score of the two players in 2 Players mode.
