EIGHT DIcE FOR 1000 POINTS

iPhonegames programs games for iPhones and with Eight they present a game for iPhone and a gaming table. The components are simple - a dice cup and a bag with eight eight-sided dice, packed in a box that has the rules printed on its sides. Seven of the eight dice are white, showing symbols for 10, 20, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, and 8; one die is black and shows the symbols for 10, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, and Joker = Wild.

You roll all eight dice and score the roll instantly; you can never improve a result by rerolling. You can score a Straight instantly and must then reroll the remaining dice; a set of two to six identical dice results must be scored; such a result also forces you to re-roll. Some point dice in pairs count their normal value, but not negative, and force you to re-roll, too. All point dice which you did not score in Straights or Pairs or for x identical dice must be scored for Point dice. If you roll eight identical dice you have won the game instantly. If you roll seven identical dice + a joker you drop out of the game, you have lost! 7 identical dice score 1000 points, seven identical ones including a Joker are 50x the value of the dice. Straights of length x are always worth x times the sum of the dice; x identical dice can score 40x the dice value down to 10x the dice value. Pairs of 3, 4, 6, 7 and 8 are negative scores; Pairs of values 10, 20 and 5 score only their normal dice value, but not negative.

You play to top 1000 points, and there is a special rule for ending the game if you do not win instantly by rolling eight identical dice.

Simply a dice game, a simple dice game, nice and unusual enough to be interesting!
