2. Combining: The player has different options to combine the dice to optimize their points. The following combinations are possible:
3. A “three of a kind”: All three dice show the same number (e.g., 4-4-4).

8. Each straight is worth 5 points.
9. Single numbers are added.

11. End of the Round: Once the player is satisfied with their result or does not want to take further risks, the points are recorded.
12. Next Player: The player to the left of the current player goes next.
