" Hi my name is Carlos Ramos Jr. coming to you on behalf of Expert Village and today we are talking about a variety of games that you could played with dice. The next game we are going to play is a game called around the spot. It is also known as flower peddles. In this game, the name of this game relates to the scoring number and play a 1,2,3, and a 5. They all have a spot in the center of the dice face, kind of like a flower. The 5, 3, and 1 they all have a dot there. The players take turns throwing the dice. In each turn, players rolls all three dice all three times and they score points for every time you roll a 1,3, or a 5. Alright, I scored a 3 here. Alright so the way the score goes if you roll a 1 that is 1 point, a 3 which I did here that is 2 points, and a 5 scores 4 points. Alright I roll them 3 times so there is my 2 points, 0, and another 2 pointer. So I end this round with 4 points. If I throw a triple 2, a triple 4, or a triple 6, for instance if i did this on one of my rolls, I score double with that score from that turn. So if I did this for my second try and I ended up with the 2, 3 which ended up being 4 that would give me a 8 because that doubles my it would have double my score. If I do this dice it cancels it out and the score is not double so I could only do that once only have one chance at doing that. Play for 4 rounds, the person at the end of the 4 rounds whoever has the higher score wins the game. Very simple, very fun, around the spot. "
