Ship, Captain & Crew

Goal: To throw, in order, 6, 5, 4 and score the most points with the remaining dice.

Play: This game can be played with any number of players, best for 3-6 players.  You need 5 dice. One player begins and play continues clockwise. 

Each player is allowed three throws.  On your turn, begin by throwing all 5 dice.

The initial goal is to obtain a 6, 5 and 4, representing the ship, captain and crew, respectively.  The 6, 5, and 4 must be obtained in descending order.  The first die you keep must be a 6, the second a 5 and the third a 4.  Once the 6, 5 and 4 have been obtained and set aside, the goal, is to obtain the highest score with the remaining two dice.

A player who rolls a 6, 5 and 4 in fewer than three rolls can choose to re-roll the remaining two dice, in hopes of a better score.

The player who has successfully set aside, in three rolls, the 6, 5 and 4 and has the highest score of the remaining two dice is the winner.
