RE: [Paddlewise] And now for something completely different...

the game is called 5000, The goal is to be the first to reach a score of
5000  by rolling certain combinations on six dice.

Combinations :

     1-2-3-4-5-6: 1500 
     6-6-6: 600 
     5-5-5: 500 
     4-4-4: 400 
     3-3-3: 300 
     2-2-2: 100 
     1-1-1: 1000
     1s: 100 each 
     5s: 50 each 

You roll six dice.  If you score you can either take you current points
and pass the dice to the next player, or keep some or all of the dice
you scored points with, and throw the remaining dice again.  If you make
a no-point roll, you loose all the points from this turn.  the
comminations must be from one roll (not from combinations with the dice
you have set aside).

The Game ends when the first person reaches a score of 5000.
