Royal 9 Dice Poker Game is a roll and score dice party game for 1-6 players where the object of the game is to not only score specific target dice combinations for points but to also outrank your opponents scored target hands to earn even more points. The game uses a 6 dice, 5 suit Poker style layout and a special "Royal" die that adds additional scoring possibilities and mechanics. The scoring scales proportionately when adding more players to remain balanced and has a special rules set for playing solo games. This game's primary objective is to reduce the luck factor commonly found in most dice scoring party games and add more strategy and decision making mechanics found in games like Poker or Rummy while still maintaining the thrill of chance and the social fun of dice party games. —description from the designer
