Each player, in turn, throws three dice.If there is no winner, all players must play the round again.The winner of the game is the player with the highest crew total.These rolls increase the player's final score. If all three in the sequence, 6, 5, and 4, are rolled in a player's three rolls, the remaining two dice (the crew) are rolled in the player's remaining turn(s).If, after three rolls, a player has put aside the ship, captain, and mate, the remaining two dice (the crew) are totaled for the player's score.If a player fails to roll the 6, 5, or 4 after their three throws, they score nothing.The remaining dice are thrown again, including the 4. If the first throw contains a 6 and 4, but not a 5, only the 6 is put aside.
The ship, captain, and mate must be rolled in order.Each has three throws of the dice and tries to roll and put to one side a 6 (the ship), a 5 (the captain), and 4 (the mate).It's played for a pot, but is also often is played for drinks. Five dice are used in Battleship, Captain, Mate, and Crew.
