How to Play a Royal Flush Poker Dice Game

Poker Dice is a very easy and very fun game to play on a boring night with family, friends or both. You can play with 2-5 players, and it's just as fun as Poker with cards.

Difficulty: Easy

Instructions

Things You'll Need:

• Five 6-sided dice
• A friend

1. Buy a 5-pack of standard 6-sided dice. Get a pen and paper to keep score, or get some poker chips to gamble with.

2. Each player rolls all 5 dice three times. Each roll the player can set aside any of the dice and roll the other (maximum of thee times). You want to get the highest possible hand after three rolls.

3. The hands you can get are, royal flush, straight flush, 5 of a kid, 4 of a kid, full house, 3 of a kind, 2 pairs, 1 pair, and high card (or high dice). The player with the highest hand at the end of each round, wins. A royal flush happens when you roll a "2-3-4-5-6" on your first roll. A straight flush is a "2-3-4-5-6" on your second roll. Regular straights count for nothing in poker dice.

4. If you don't gamble, assign a number rank to each hand instead. 9 points for a royal flush, 8 points for a straight flush, 7 point for "5 of a kind", 6 points for "4 of a kind" etc. Then every round each player earns more points, and the player with the highest number of points after 10 rounds wins.

Tips & Warnings

• You don't have to use 6-sided dice. For a harder game, grab some 10 or 12-sided dice.
• You don't have to bet money. Keep score by giving numeric value to each possible hand.
• Don't bet or gamble money unless you can afford to lose it.
