Game rules

Preparation: 3 or more people, five dice. Use rock-paper-scissors to choose the dealer, and agree that each die showing a mine number counts as one unit.

  1. The dealer rolls five dice first, which is used only to set mines for this round: any number that appears at least twice is a mine. Three or four dice showing the same number still count as only one type of mine; two pairs will have two types of mines.
  2. If the dealer does not roll any duplicate points, reroll until at least one type of mine appears; there is no penalty for the roll that sets the mine.
  3. Starting from the left of the dealer, each player rolls five dice in sequence. For each mine point that appears, the player who rolled receives one unit.
  4. After everyone has thrown once, the round ends; the person to the left of the original dealer takes over and resets the mine.

Example:Set the dice as 1, 1, 3, 3, 6, and the mines as 1 and 3; the player rolls 1, 3, 3, 4, 5, and hits three mines in total.
