Sequences

Also known as Straight Shooter.  This game is played with six dice.  This is essentially a standard dice version of an old game called Hearts or Hearts Due which is played with special dice that have the letters H, E, A, R, T and S printed on the die's faces instead of spots.

Play:

Each player in turn rolls the six dice and scores points for any sequence of consecutive numbers thrown beginning with 1.  In the event of two or more of the same number being rolled only one counts.  However a throw that contains three 1s cancels out a player's score and they must start from zero again.  A total of scores is kept and the first player to reach 100 points, wins the game.

1   5 points
1, 2 10 points
1, 2, 3 15 points
1, 2, 3, 4 20 points
1, 2, 3, 4, 5 25 points
1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 35 points
1, 1, 1 Cancels player's score

 

Variations:

Some versions score 30 points, rather than 35, for a sequence of six.

Yet another version is played without the triple 1 rule and with two additional scoring combinations of five 6s scoring 35 points and six 6s scoring 70 points.
