Instructions

Objective:

The objective of Drop Dead is to score the most points by rolling specific combinations with five dice.

Materials:

• 5 dice per player
• A scorecard or a way to keep track of scores.

Setup:

• Designate a player as the scorekeeper and create a scorecard. The scorecard typically consists of six rounds, labeled "1" through "6," each representing different combinations.

Rolling Dice:

• In each round, players take turns rolling all five dice at once.

Playing the Round:

• The goal of each round is to roll specific combinations as follows:
  • Round 1: Ones
  • Round 2: Twos
  • Round 3: Threes
  • Round 4: Fours
  • Round 5: Fives
  • Round 6: Sixes
• Players take turns in a clockwise order.

Scoring:

• Points are recorded on the scorecard based on the following rules:
  • For each die showing the target number for that round (e.g., ones in round 1), the player scores one point.
  • If a player rolls all five dice showing the target number for that round, they score a bonus of 10 points for that round.

Completing All Rounds:

• Players complete all six rounds, one for each target number (1 through 6), scoring points based on the combinations rolled in each round.

Winning the Game:

• The player with the highest total score at the end of all six rounds is declared the winner.

Variations:

• If you would like to add a variation to these rules, leave an Amazon review with the variation in the review for it will be added to this section.
