Generala

Generala - A game of dice

Generala is a dice game similar to the English game of poker dice and Yatzy, the German game Kniffel, and the Polish game Jacy-Tacy.

The player takes turns rolling five dice. After each roll you choose which dice (if any) to keep or hold, the others will be re-rolled. Dice can be re-rolled up to two additional times.

In any roll the player may choose in which category to score the points:

• Ones, Twos, Threes, Fours, Fives or Sixes

The player may add the numbers on any combination of dice showing the same number. If all of these add 65 points or more, a Bonus of 35 points is granted.

• Three of a Kind

Three dice with the same number. Add the dice points of the same kind.

If scored on first throw, add an additional 10 points and 50 Luck Coins.
