Lock and Roll Version 1.2: Rules

How to Play

• Click on any ROLL button to start the game and roll all 5 dice.
• EITHER score the dice as shown by clicking on one of the 14 scoring categories on your Score Card.
  If your chosen category does not apply to the dice shown (for instance you have no 1s showing but you select ONES) you will score 0 for that round.
• OR you may choose some dice to lock () so that they will not be rolled next time. Just click on a dice to lock it and click it again to unlock it, and then ROLL again.
• After at most three rolls you must then score the dice shown, choosing one of the 14 categories for that roll.
  Click on the category or on the score-box to choose that category.
  Remember: you can only score once in each category.
• Use the Show possible scores checkbox to show how you can score in all available categories.
