I learned this game at a bicycle shop in Brooklyn that had a liquor license.
Supposedly they had great brunch as well.
It requires at least three dice.
Each player antes one dollar into the pot and they then take it in turn throwing the dice.
The object of the game is to score the lowest total amount by adding up the spot values of all three set aside dice but counting 3s as zeroes.
Each player has up to three rolls of the dice (or more if you have more dice. One roll per die).
You must set at least one aside after each throw. Once a dice is set aside, it may not be rolled again.
The best possible score after all the dice have been set aside is zero (all threes).
In the event of equally low scores, tied players either play again or have a shoot-off with one die per person.
The winner takes the pot and rolls first in the next game.
