Twenty One

Players work through five horizontal rows of six colored dice on a personal score sheet, trying to fill each space with a number at or below the printed value. On each turn the active player rolls six color-matched dice, keeping any 1s and optionally rerolling non-1s up to two times; after the final roll all players may write matching colors that show values equal to or less than their target spaces. Exact matches are marked with an “x” and contribute to row bonuses. If a player declines or cannot fill a space, they cross out the leftmost empty space in their current row. Play advances row by row, and the game ends when a player completes the fifth row; players then total their points.
