5 Roll by Arkadium is a fast-paced dice game that challenges you to score big in just five rolls. This guide will equip you with the knowledge to maximize your score and become a 5-dice rolling champion!

Getting Started

• The Goal: Roll the dice and aim to create scoring combinations like pairs, three of a kind, full houses, and straights. Fill out the scorecard by strategically choosing which dice to keep and re-roll.
• The Scorecard: The scorecard lists various scoring opportunities, similar to Yahtzee. Each section awards points based on the dice you roll.

Taking Your Turn

1. Roll the Dice: Click the “Roll” button to roll all five dice.
2. Analyze Your Roll: Look for potential scoring opportunities on the scorecard. Can you form a pair, three of a kind, or even a straight?
3. Keep or Re-roll: Decide which dice you want to keep (by clicking on them) and which ones to re-roll (by leaving them unselected). You can re-roll the remaining dice up to four times.
4. Score! Once you’re satisfied with your dice selection, click the “Score” button to lock in your points for that category on the scorecard.

Scoring Strategies

• Think Ahead: Plan your rolls! Don’t just focus on immediate scoring opportunities. Look for ways to create future possibilities. For example, keeping two of a kind could lead to a three of a kind on the next roll.
• Fill the Scorecard: Aim to fill out the entire scorecard. Even if a section offers a lower score, completing it can unlock bonus points at the end.
• Manage Re-rolls: Use your four re-rolls wisely. Don’t waste them on rolls with low scoring potential.
• The Power of Five: Rolling five of the same number (a Yahtzee) is a high scorer, so keep an eye out for opportunities to achieve this.

Tips and Tricks

• The Multiplier Die (Arkadium Version): In the Arkadium version, there might be a special multiplier die. Rolling five dice of the same color can activate a multiplier for your score in that category.
• Focus on Early Rounds: The earlier sections of the scorecard often offer higher base scores. Prioritize these sections early on.
• Don’t Be Afraid to Take Risks: Sometimes, re-rolling for a chance at a high-scoring combination can be more rewarding than settling for a guaranteed low score.

Practice Makes Perfect

The key to mastering 5 Roll is practice! Play regularly and experiment with different strategies. With a little bit of luck and strategic thinking, you’ll be rolling high scores in no time!
