To play poker dice, all that is needed is a set of Poker dice, failing which, a set of 5 ordinary dice will do.
1
A score pad and pencil will help, especially if 3 or more people are playing.
2
In turn, each player is allowed to roll the dice 3 times, but may stop after just one roll if fearful their second roll may be worse.
3
After the first roll, pick up only those dice that do not contribute to a good hand, even if it's all 5 you roll again.
4
What is a good hand? From the best to worst:
a run which is 5 consecutive numbers as in 1,2,3,4,5 or 2,3,4,5,6
super deuce which is all 5 dice having the same number
a full house which is a pair and a trip
deuce which is 4 dice having the same number
trip which is three dice having the same number
two pairs
one pair
a run which is 5 consecutive numbers as in 1,2,3,4,5 or 2,3,4,5,6
super deuce which is all 5 dice having the same number
a full house which is a pair and a trip
deuce which is 4 dice having the same number
trip which is three dice having the same number
two pairs
one pair
5
Roll these dice again. Add any you like to the lot you have already put aside.
6
Repeat the previous step, picking up the poor dice, and rolling them again.
7
At this point, the face values of the dice are calculated, and noted. If you have rolled 3 times and still have no hands, your score is zero for that turn.
8
The other players now do the same.
