-= Playing Greed
-
-Greed is a dice game played among 2 or more players, using 5
-six-sided dice.
-
-== Playing Greed
-
-Each player takes a turn consisting of one or more rolls of the dice.
-On the first roll of the game, a player rolls all five dice which are
-scored according to the following:
-
- Three 1's => 1000 points
- Three 6's => 600 points
- Three 5's => 500 points
- Three 4's => 400 points
- Three 3's => 300 points
- Three 2's => 200 points
- One 1 => 100 points
- One 5 => 50 points
-
-A single die can only be counted once in each roll. For example,
-a "5" can only count as part of a triplet (contributing to the 500
-points) or as a single 50 points, but not both in the same roll.
-
-Example Scoring
-
- Throw Score
- --------- ------------------
- 5 1 3 4 1 50 + 2 * 100 = 250
- 1 1 1 3 1 1000 + 100 = 1100
- 2 4 4 5 4 400 + 50 = 450
-
-The dice not contributing to the score are called the non-scoring
-dice. "3" and "4" are non-scoring dice in the first example. "3" is
-a non-scoring die in the second, and "2" is a non-score die in the
-final example.
-
-After a player rolls and the score is calculated, the scoring dice are
-removed and the player has the option of rolling again using only the
-non-scoring dice. If all of the thrown dice are scoring, then the
-player may roll all 5 dice in the next roll.
-
-The player may continue to roll as long as each roll scores points. If
-a roll has zero points, then the player loses not only their turn, but
-also accumulated score for that turn. If a player decides to stop
-rolling before rolling a zero-point roll, then the accumulated points
-for the turn is added to his total score.
-
-== Getting "In The Game"
-
-Before a player is allowed to accumulate points, they must get at
-least 300 points in a single turn. Once they have achieved 300 points
-in a single turn, the points earned in that turn and each following
-turn will be counted toward their total score.
-
-== End Game
-
-Once a player reaches 3000 (or more) points, the game enters the final
-round where each of the other players gets one more turn. The winner
-is the player with the highest score after the final round.
