US Patent 7494124 Multiplicity of dice boardless game

The invention is a game for two or more players comprised of twelve dice, a cup for shaking and rolling the dice, a score card and game instructions/rules of play. In each round of preferably nine rounds each player in sequence can roll the dice up to three times to complete the dice combination called for in the rules for that given round, referred to as a round goal. When a player achieves a round goal, scoring is based upon the count of the face numbers on the three or more dice required to complete the round goal. A player that fails to achieve the round goal in a particular round scores a zero if that objective is not achieved in three rolls of the dice. The rules provide for the number of dice to be rolled in each round.
