Around the Spot

Also known as Flower Petals.  The name of this game relates to scoring numbers in play.  1, 3 and 5 all have a spot in the centre of the die's face.  Played with three dice and a score sheet.

Play:

Players take it in turn to throw the dice. In each turn players roll all three dice three times.  They score for every occurrence of a 1, 3 or 5. 1 scores one point, 3 scores two points and 5 scores four points.  Should a player throw a triple 2, 4 or 6 they double their score for their turn and the throw is not counted as one of the three.  A second throw of triple 2, 4 or 6 cancels out the previous one and their score is no longer doubled.  Four rounds are played and the players' scores are noted.  The player with the highest total, wins the game.
