For example, on my first turn I rolled 4 6’s. I would record that in the 6’s column. I would not be able to roll 6’s again for the rest of the game.? each player will get 6 turns with the dice and try to roll the highest score possible? after their 6th turn, players are to multiply their number rolled in each column by the value of that column.
