Poker Dice

The Basics
Poker Dice is a two player game where players take it in turns to roll dice, hold any they wish to keep and then re-roll those they have discarded. The resulting set of five dice can be scored as poker hands or single numbers on the scorecard.

Click roll to start, click on any dice you wish to retain, then click on roll again. Held dice will be shaded out. Record your result on the scorecard and that ends your go.

So, for example, player 1 rolls initially and his dice are A, K, J, J, T. He chooses to keep the two Js and rerolls the other three dice. After the re-roll he has J, J, J, J, Q. He now needs to choose where to score up his four Jacks. He can mark four points under the Js section at the top (for four points) or can fill in the 4 of a kind box below, worth 4 points. After noting four points under Js at the top, play passes to Player 2. He rolls Q, Q, T, J, K. He chooses to keep T, J, Q, K, hoping to complete his ‘straight’ which would require him to roll a 9 or an Ace on the next roll. If he manages this, he marks up his card on the straight line for 4 points. If not, he needs to choose where to place his result. If his fifth dice were another J, for example (T, J, J, Q, K), he might choose to record 2 in the Js section at the top.
