Spoiler: Rules

Coin flip (1d2) determines first player.
Three rolls of 5 dice per turn.
After each roll, player may "hold" any of the results of the five dice and not reroll those particular dice. (Dice held after roll 1 may be rerolled after roll 2).
After the third roll (or sooner), the player choose one of the 13 boxes to score on.

The boxes and bonuses:

• Ones-Sixes - Count and score only dice of that value.
  
• Upper Section Bonus -If Upper Section total is 63 or more, score +35.
  
• Three/Four of a Kind -[Three/Four] dice (or more) show the same value: Score total of all dice.
  
• Full House - Three of a kind and a different pair: Score 25
  
• Small/Large Straight - [Four/Five] dice in sequential order (e.g. 1-2-3-4-5): Score 30/40
  
• Yahtzee - Five dice show the same value: Score 50
  
• Chance - Score total of all dice
  
• Yahtzee Bonus - After first Yahtzee, subsequent Yahtzees score +50 each, and Joker Rule is applied.

JOKER rule: When a Yahtzee is rolled, and the Yahtzee box is filled, score the Upper Section box of that corresponding value. If filled, may score any lower section box for the advertised point value (even Full House or a Straight).

I

won the coin flip

, so I'll go first, but I'll pause to make sure JDGA checks in first.

[JDGA]

[trash_talk]Hey yabba, I hope you're ready to

optimise

your choices this game or you're going down![/trash_talk]

[yabbaguy]

Oh I plan to.

...let's see, not rolling 5-sided dice here, got it.

Original Roll String: 5d6

5 6-Sided Dice: (4, 2, 3, 3, 3) = 15

[yabbaguy]

Solid. I <3 keeping 2-3-4 for the myriad of straight possibilities, but I like the Yahtzee equity better.

Keeping the 333

.

Original Roll String: 2d6

2 6-Sided Dice: (1, 3) = 4

[yabbaguy]

Keep that 3 too, one more...!!!

Original Roll String: 1d6

1 6-Sided Dice: (6) = 6

[yabbaguy]

Yeah, that would've been boring to blast ahead on turn 1.

I will forsake the Four of a Kind with impunity once again and put

12 on Threes

.
