"Five Thousand Dice" is a dice game for up to six players, who each throw six dice at a time to try to get the highest score.
Just say "Alexa, open five thousand dice" to launch the game.
The winner is who ever gets 5,000 or more points. After the first person gets 5,000 points, each of the other players get one more round to try to get a higher score.
A full list of commands can be sent to your Alexa app at any time by saying "Tell me the rules".
The skill also recognizes "Start a New Game", "Continue My Game", "Tell me my score", "Roll Dice", "I rolled {1 2 3 4 5 6}", "There are {two} players" "Repeat", "Cancel", "Stop", and "Quit".
When registering the values of the six rolled dice, say "I rolled n n n n n n" where n is the value of each of the six dice. To register a zero point roll, just say "I rolled zero".
Each dice value is checked for a valid value from 1 to 6. If Alexa hears more or less than 6 dice values the command will be rejected.
Each player may roll the dice up to three times per turn in order to attempt to get the highest score.
The Rules are as follows:
6 real Dice are needed. The skill keeps track of scoring for you, but you roll your own dice.
Up to six players may play the game and you can stop and resume the game at a later date if so desired. The scores are stored in a persistent database and retrieved if you decide to continue a game.
500 or more points needed to start playing.
5,000 points or more to end the game.
Roll dice up to 3 times maximum. You must get a 1 or a 5 or a combination that scores points. Loose turn if nothing scores.
If at any time all 6 dice are points, you must roll all 6 again to add to your score, but loose all points if no dice score points.
When one player makes 5,000 points, all players get one more round to try to beat that players score.
Point values are as follows:
each singular 5=50
each singular 1=100
3 ones=1000 (bonus)
3 of a kind as follows:
3x2=200
3x3=300
3x4=400
3x5=500
3x6=600
2 sets of 3 = 1,000 + bonus if 3 ones included
3 pair=1,000
4 of a kind=1,500 + bonus if all four are ones
5 of a kind=2,500 + bonus if all five are ones
6 of a kind=3,000 + bonus if all six are ones
