Instructions Phase 10 - Dice

Objective of the Game

Phase 10 Dice is a dice game where the goal is to be the first player to complete all ten phases. Each phase has a different requirement that must be met in order to proceed to the next.

Number of Players

The game can be played with 2 to 6 players.

Game Components

• 10 dice with numbers 1 to 6 and a wild card symbol on each die.
• A score pad to keep track of player phases and points.

Gameplay

2. Each player writes their name on the score pad and is equipped with a pen.

3. All players start at Phase 1. The phases are listed on the score pad.

4. Player's Turn:

5. The player rolls all ten dice at once.
6. The player can roll up to three times per round, setting aside any dice or picking them back up after each roll.

7. The aim is to meet the requirement of the current phase. Phases could be combinations like certain sequences of numbers or sets.

8. Phases and Points:
