How many points to win this dice game?
There's no fixed threshold to "win" solo — the goal is to beat your own record or your opponent. Here are benchmarks to place a score, plus the theoretical maximum score.
Score benchmarks
| Level | Score | Benchmark |
|---|---|---|
| Beginner | 60 – 100 points | First games, no particular strategy. |
| Decent | 100 – 150 points | The upper bonus is sometimes missed, a few categories crossed out. |
| Good player | 150 – 220 points | Upper section bonus regularly reached, few zeroed categories. |
| Very good player | 220 – 300 points | Careful management of rare categories, an occasional Five of a Kind. |
| Exceptional score | 300+ points | Assumes one or more bonus Five of a Kinds (+100 each) and near-optimal play. |
The theoretical maximum score: 375 points
Counting only a single Five of a Kind (no extra bonus), here's the perfect score broken down category by category:
| Category | Calculation | Points |
|---|---|---|
| Upper section (6×5 dice at max value) | Ones 5 + Twos 10 + Threes 15 + Fours 20 + Fives 25 + Sixes 30 | 105 |
| Upper section bonus | Automatic if the total ≥ 63 | 35 |
| Three of a Kind (5 sixes) | 6×5 | 30 |
| Four of a Kind (5 sixes) | 6×5 | 30 |
| Full House | Fixed score | 25 |
| Small straight | Fixed score | 30 |
| Large straight | Fixed score | 40 |
| Five of a Kind | Fixed score | 50 |
| Chance (5 sixes) | 6×5 | 30 |
| Total | 375 |
Every extra Five of a Kind beyond the first adds 100 points, with no theoretical limit if luck cooperates.
