All players take a turn rolling the dice three times. After each roll, they choose which dice to keep and which to roll again.

Once you have used your three rolls, you have to choose which field you wish to place the results in, and then record the sum of points from the valid dice. The fields in which you can place your points are shaded. Should you choose a field where you can't use your results, or if your results can be used in any of the fields, then the number of points for the field you choose is set to 0. Before a field is set to 0 in that way, the game will ask whether you really wish to do so, just in case you hit the wrong key.
