The game of Zonk uses 5 dice. Each time that you roll the dice you mustsave out at least one die that has point value. You may roll the remaining dice until you roll the dice and do not come up with any points.
Rolling a 5 is worth 50 points
Rolling a 1 is worth 100 points
Rolling a 3 of the same number is worth 100 x n points
(3 5's is worth 500, 3 3's is worth 300,
but 3 1's is worth 1000)
Rolling a straight (1-2-3-4-5) or (2-3-4-5-6) is worth 1500 points
Rolling a 5 of the same nubmer is worth 1000 x n points
(5 5's is worth 5,000, 5 3's is worth 3,000,
but 5 1's is worth 10,000)
If you roll and do not get any points you lose any points that you have
accumulated this turn (i.e. the points that you have collected so far
this turn are subtracted from your total score). If you use all five
dice to generate points, you can through them all again. You may choose
to stop rolling the dice and collect your points at any time.
