Objective
Be the player with the highest BANKed score at the end of the game.
Setup
- Players: 2 or more.
- Items: Regular 6-sided dice (at least one pair), flat surface, scorekeeper's device.
- Rounds: Choose 10, 15, or 20 rounds (default is 20).
- Enter Names: Scorekeeper inputs names in order.
Gameplay
- Players take turns rolling both dice.
- Scorekeeper records the total of each roll.
- Play continues until the round ends.
Phases of a Round
1st Phase (First 3 Rolls)
Rolls are worth the total value on the dice.
- Exception: Rolling a 7 is worth 70 points.
2nd Phase (All Other Rolls)
Rolls are worth the total value on the dice.
- Exceptions:
- Doubles: Round total is doubled.
- 7: Round total resets to 0, round ends immediately. Players who haven't BANKed
lose points for that round.
BANKing Points
During the 2nd Phase, players can choose to BANK points by saying "BANK."
- Scorekeeper presses "BANK" and checks the player's name.
- The round total is added to the player's individual score.
- BANKed players are out for the rest of the round and cannot roll again.
- The round total is not reduced when players BANK.
- Players can BANK at different times or simultaneously.
Ending a Round
A round ends when:
- All players have BANKed, or
- A 7 is rolled.
If only one player remains, they can continue rolling until they BANK or roll a 7.
Winning the Game
Play continues until the selected number of rounds is complete. The player with the highest
BANKed score wins!
Tips
- BANK early if the round total is high, but be aware of potential doubling opportunities.
- Keep an eye on other players' strategies.
- Make sure the scorekeeper is accurate.
