u-topia*Welcome to Piraten kapern*!
The game is played by rolling 8 dice and competing for points.1length000
u-topia[red]*First, the player whose turn it is to play draws and reveals a pirate card (red frame)*[/red].
(Please look at the effect description below the card.)
Players will play with the effect of this card in mind.2length000flip-card-front 6
u-topiaThen, the player will roll all 8 dice.
[blue]*The dice you rolled are lined up in the blue frame*[/blue].
There are six types of eyes on the dice: *Diamond, Gold coin, Sabre, Monkey, Parrot, and Skull*.
Your score is based on the combination of the dice at the end of your turn.3table_roll_wrap000table_roll 7
u-topia*There are three ways to score points*.
[red]*1. Sets of identical objects: *[/red]
Each set of at least three identical objects rewards points as per the following:
3 of a kind: 100 points
4 of a kind: 200 points
5 of a kind: 500 points
6 of a kind: 1,000 points
7 of a kind: 2,000 points
8 of a kind: 4,000 points4table_roll_wrap000
u-topia[red]*2. Diamonds and Gold coin: *[/red]
Each Diamond and each Gold coin is worth 100 points (even if not part of a set).
Therefore, sets of Diamonds and Gold coins score twice: First for their face value and then for the sets they make.
[red]*3. Full Chest: *[/red]
A player who generates points with all eight dice receives a bonus of 500 points in addition to the score they made.5table_roll_wrap000
u-topia[tip] [green]*Please refer to the scoring card (green frame) when playing*[/green].6table_roll_wrap000help 8

[blue]Gold coin x (2+1) -> 300 points[/blue]
[blue]3 of a kind (Gold coin) -> 100 points[/blue]
[green]4 of a kind (Sabre) -> 200 points[/green]

u-topia*Now, total 1300 points*.
The score you get when you choose to end your turn is shown above the dice rolled.8table_roll_wrap000
u-topiaBased on the outcome of the first roll and based on their pirate card, the player decides which dice they wish to keep and which dice they wish to re-roll.
The player may re-roll any dice they want to.
However, there are some rules.
[red]*In each roll, they must choose at least two dice in order to re-roll them*[/red].9table_roll_wrap000
u-topia*Now let's re-roll the four Sabers*.
Click on the die you wish to re-roll, and the dice will move to the blue frame.
*Action*: Click [red]*4 dice in numerical order*[/red], then [blue]*"Roll dice"*[/blue].10table_roll_wrap010table_reroll 7 table_roll_item_1 17 table_roll_item_4 18 table_roll_item_5 19 table_roll_item_6 20
u-topiaAs a result of the re-roll, your dice landed with Saber, Saber, Parrot, and Skull.
Oops, total score decreased (1300 -> 600 points).
Moreover, there are dice that landed on a Skull.
[red]*Each die which has landed on a Skull must be put aside and cannot be rolled again*[/red].1table_roll_wrap622a6499a516c00
u-topiaThe player may re-roll any dice they want to, including those they decided to keep in previous rolls.
Now let's re-roll the two Sabers and a Parrot.
*Action*: Click [red]*3 dice in numerical order*[/red], then [blue]*"Roll dice"*[/blue].2table_roll_wrap622a6499a516c10table_roll_item_4 19 table_roll_item_5 17 table_roll_item_6 18
u-topiaFantastic!
Three Diamonds and five Gold coins, total 1400 points!
But let's re-roll the three Diamonds for a higher score.
*Action*: Click [red]*3 dice in numerical order*[/red], then [blue]*"Roll dice"*[/blue].1table_roll_wrap622a649ebde1b10table_roll_item_3 17 table_roll_item_7 18 table_roll_item_6 19
u-topiaExcellent!
One Diamonds and seven Gold coins, total 2800 points!
It would be dangerous to aim for more.
(To re-roll a die, you must always re-roll at least two dice).
Let's finish the turn here without re-roll the die.
*Action*: Click [red]*"End your turn"*[/red].1table_roll_wrap622a64aaf100d10page-title 6
u-topiaThe cumulative score is displayed as a bar graph below the dice.
A new pirate card is revealed and it is the opponent's turn.
Let's watch how the opponent play it.
The opponent landed on two skulls from the start.1table_roll_wrap622a64b45357b00
u-topiaHmm...1table_roll_wrap622a64c095a9400
u-topiaHmmmm...1table_roll_wrap622a64c74d30600
u-topiaThe opponent accumulated three Skulls.
*A player who accumulates three Skulls is disqualified and ends their turn with no points*.
!!! Only in one special case the Skulls do not end the player's turn. (The Island of Skulls).1table_roll_wrap622a64cd14b7e00
u-topiaIt's your turn.
Look at the effect of the pirate card.
Seems like a good idea to leave the Monkeys and Parrots as they are.
Let's re-roll the three Sabers.
*Action*: Click [red]*3 dice in numerical order*[/red], then [blue]*"Roll dice"*[/blue].2table_roll_wrap622a64cd17d4810table_roll_item_3 17 table_roll_item_4 18 table_roll_item_8 19
u-topiaAmazing!
The set of 7 dice is ready.
You're not likely to get any more points than you already have, so let's end the turn.
*Action*: Click [red]*"End your turn"*[/red].1table_roll_wrap622a64e2652a810page-title 6
u-topiaThere is nothing to do during the opponent's turn.1table_roll_wrap622a64eada2af00
u-topiaIf you were to do anything, it would be to pray to the devil.
*[tip] (Curses return upon the heads of those that curse)*.1table_roll_wrap622a64f5beb1800
u-topia"May the opponent roll many skulls..."1table_roll_wrap622a64fa648ca00
u-topia"May the opponent roll many skulls..."
"May the opponent roll many skulls..."
"May the opponent roll many skulls..."
*[tip] (Be careful not to pray too much)*.2table_roll_wrap622a64fa648ca00
u-topiaOh, the opponent landed on a good dice roll.
There's no use praying to the devil.1table_roll_wrap622a6500174bd00
u-topiaSometimes the effect of the pirate card allows you to re-roll the Skull.
*Action*: Click [red]*3 dice in numerical order*[/red], then [blue]*"Roll dice"*[/blue].1table_roll_wrap622a6506f0e0710table_roll_item_1 18 table_roll_item_2 19 table_locked_item_4 17
u-topiaOf course, there are times when the same dice roll will appear even after a re-roll.
*Action*: Click [red]*"End your turn"*[/red].1table_roll_wrap622a65145841910
u-topiaSo far, do you have any questions?1table_roll_wrap622a651d807fd00
u-topiaLet's see...
"What happens if I land three Skulls at the beginning of my turn?"1table_roll_wrap622a6529e671a00
u-topiaIf such bad luck happens, you cannot play anything and your turn ends.1table_roll_wrap622a652fc848300
u-topiaLet's pray that bad luck will not happen to you.1table_roll_wrap622a65349dfde00
u-topia"What happens if I land four or more Skulls at the beginning of my turn?"1table_roll_wrap622a65379d7fe00
u-topiaIf after their first roll a player has four or more Skulls, their turn does not end.1table_roll_wrap622a6541239c300
u-topiaInstead, they go to the Island of Skulls (Only for that turn).1table_roll_wrap622a65462837800
u-topiaIn the Island of the Skulls, they cannot score points for themselves.1table_roll_wrap622a654c68b0100
u-topiaHowever, they can deduct points from all their opponents by collecting as many skulls as they can.1table_roll_wrap622a655adabdd00
u-topiaWhen I was explaining to you about the Island of Skulls, you arrived at the Island of Skulls.
They may keep rolling to try to collect more Skulls but they must gain at least one skull in each roll in order to continue.
Once they do not roll any skulls, their turn ends. 1table_roll_wrap622a655ee4bd500table_locked_item_1 6 table_locked_item_2 6 table_locked_item_3 6 table_locked_item_6 6
u-topiaNow let's re-roll all the dice that are not Skulls.
*Action*: Click [red]*"Reroll all available dice"*[/red].2table_roll_wrap622a655ee4bd510page-title 6
u-topiaThat's too bad.
You did not gain an additional Skull.
However, For every Skull they managed to collect, their opponents each lose 100 points per Skull (In the Island of the Skulls all other objects have no value).1table_roll_wrap622a6580700e200
u-topiaThere is no upper limit to the number of negative points.
-1,000 points, -2,000 points, or even more if you are unlucky.2table_roll_wrap622a65807342b00
u-topiaWhen one of the players reaches the target point, the others play one more turn, and the game ends.
The winner is the player with the highest score after the final round provided that their score is above the target point. 3table_roll_wrap622a65807342b00
u-topiaIf during the final round no player has over target point, the game continues.
In this case, the next player to reach the target score wins immediately (No second final round play).4table_roll_wrap622a65807342b00
u-topiaDo you have any other questions?
Let's see...
"How many points is "9 of a kind" including the effect of the pirate card?"
Ah, this is an excellent question.5table_roll_wrap622a65807342b00
u-topia[red]*9 of a kind: Pirate Magic[/red] (Win immediately)*
No matter how much you lose, it can be reversed.
Don't give up and play until the end.6table_roll_wrap622a65807342b00
u-topiaThat's all the explanation I have for you.
Let luck be on your side and win.
Thank you for reading to the end.7table_roll_wrap622a65807342b00
